President Nana Akufo-Addo has called for the support of stakeholders to ensure that the new adjustment policies for the safety and security of the Ghanaian from future explosions will succeed.
A crunch meeting is expected to be held on Thursday, October 12, 2017, to plan the way forward and to prevent a recurrence of the disaster that has claimed at least seven lives and injured hundreds.
Speaking during his tour in the Northern Region on Sunday, President Nana Akufo-Addo said whatever policies and rules would be introduced will not be effective unless there is support from every member of the public.
“I would like everybody involved in the industry to recognize that we all have to make adjustments to be able to guarantee the safety and the security of our people so that these things do not happen again. I need the support and cooperation of the people of Ghana to make the policies that we will be bringing up succeed so that such incidents become a thing of the past and not of the future,†President Akufo-Addo said.
