Ghana Gas boss: We’ve completed 152 CSR projects

The MD of Ghana National Gas Company (GNGC), Ben Asante has said his outfit as part of its community outreach programmes has so far embarked on 152 projects across the country.

The projects, according to the MD span the areas of education, health, water and sanitation, sports, security and roads noting that the gas company has 301 of these projects ongoing across the country with majority of them at different levels of completion.

Addressing journalists at the state of the agencies reports, a press engagement platform put together by the State Interests and Governance Authority (SIGA) in collaboration with the Ministry of Information on Wednesday, 11 January 2023, Asante said the rationale behind its massive project is to give back to society.

“Ghana Gas is one of the few companies that is very particular about sharing whatever we get with the communities that we operate in.

“Till date, we have all 16 regions covered and we have done 152 projects and about 301 are ongoing and at various stages of completion. We don’t see why we shouldn’t share what we get with the communities we operate in, and we do that proudly,” he said.

The projects include the construction of an 8-Seater water closet toilet facility, and a mechanized borehole in Allabokazo, construction of a 4-unit teachers’ quarters in Anokyi, a 4-unit teachers’ quarters in Asemnda Suazo, and an Ultra-Modern Nursery facility in the same area.

Additionally, he said Ghana Gas as part of these projects has supported the Nzulezo Development Committee to rehabilitate its Community School building, digitized the record keeping of the Eikwe and Half Assini Hospitals.
