The National Executive Committee of the Graduate Students’ Association of Ghana (GRASAG) has officially announced its decision to join the Catholic Bishops’ Conference and the Catholic Church in a protest against illegal mining, commonly known as galamsey, on October 11, 2024.

This move comes in response to the alarming environmental degradation and socio-economic challenges caused by galamsey activities across the country.

Representing over 100,000 students and future leaders, GRASAG emphasizes that ongoing galamsey operations pose a serious threat to Ghana’s environment, economy, and citizens.

The association has expressed particular concern for students who rely on campus water supplies, highlighting the urgent need to address the poisoning of water bodies, destruction of farmlands, and vulnerability of communities.

In a statement signed by the national president of GRASAG Emmanuel Owusu, reiterated its commitment to responsible governance and called on all Ghanaians to participate in the peaceful demonstration to demand immediate and effective measures against illegal mining.

Organised labour has recently threatened a nationwide strike action as part of the calls to get the government to act.

They have set October 10, 2024 to proceed with the strike, if their demands are not met.

They argue that the government’s inaction on the issue of illegal mining has led to severe environmental degradation and has adversely affected the livelihoods of many communities.
