Accra, April 12, GNA – A coalition of grassroot organisations within the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has praised Mr Martin Kwaku Ayisi, the Chief Executive Officer of the Minerals Commission, for his exceptional leadership, contributions to the party, and national development.
The allied groups including Election Has Consequences Movement, and Ghetto for John Mahama made the commendation in a statement read at a press conference by Mr Joshua Sika Nartey, President of National Soldiers for John Mahama.
They lauded Mr Ayisi for implementing a “Reset Agenda” at the Commission and elevating it to “remarkable heights.”
The statement said Mr Ayisi’s administration has led to the rapid development and modernisation of the Commission’s infrastructure, including the imminent completion of its Kumasi office by June 2025, and the establishment of new complexes in Akim Oda, Bibiani, Bole, Damang, Kyebi, and Tamale.
“Additionally, staff residences in Bolgatanga, Tarkwa, Prestea, and Wa have undergone timely renovations, while 50 grassroots-based mine inspectors are currently studying at world-class institutions like the Colorado School of Mines and Curtin University,” it stated.
“Lawyer Ayisi’s efforts have significantly enhanced the visibility and footprint of the Minerals Commission across Ghana and beyond,” the statement said, stressing that,
“He remains accessible to the grassroots and has demonstrated generosity towards NDC members in need, with promises of job creation in the near future.”
The groups urged President John Mahama and the Minister of Lands and Natural Resources to recognise Mr Ayisi’s unwavering dedication to the NDC’s cause, and that his expertise reflects the 2024 campaign message that “Ghana needs experience, not experimentation.”
“We adjudge Lawyer Ayisi as one of the best CEOs in the current administration,” the statement said, adding that, “By this sterling performance, we send a strong signal to those attempting to undermine his position to desist or face our collective resistance.”
The statement called on all NDC members, stakeholders in the mining industry, and the public to support Mr Ayisi in his continued leadership at the Minerals Commission.
