“And then, when they do the mining, they will need faster means to be able to send their gold to the national level without being disturbed by armed robberies,” he said.

Donatus Akamugri Atanga noted that the construction of the Bolgatanga Airport will aid miners and gold buyers in transporting.

He further added, “There’s a need for us to fasten this to improve upon things. Upper East is a gateway to Burkina Faso and Togo. Our airport will be more lucrative.”

Meanwhile, the Parliament of Ghana on Friday, March 28, 2025, passed the Ghana Gold Board Bill 2025 by a majority vote.

The passage occurred without the participation of Minority MPs, who boycotted the proceedings in protest. Their walkout was in response to First Deputy Speaker Bernard Ahiafor’s refusal to grant their request to reconvene on Saturday, March 29, at 10 a.m. to further deliberate on the bill after the approval of the 2025 Appropriation Bill.

The bill aims to regulate the gold industry, enhance transparency and traceability, and boost foreign exchange earnings. It establishes the Gold Board to oversee the purchase, sale, and export of gold, generating revenue to help stabilize the cedi.
