Bolgatanga, Oct. 8, GNA – An 11-member board of directors of the Bolgatanga District Assembly Businesses Services Company (BODABSCO) has been inaugurated at Bolgatanga in the Upper East Region. BODABSCO is the business wing of the assembly, set up to generate income to supplement its locally generated revenue.
The business wing operates a gold processing plant at Digare for the use of small-scale miners in the area.
The board has Mr Robert Tator, a private legal practitioner as chairman.
Inaugurating the board, the Municipal Chief Executive, Mr Rockson Ayine Bukari urged its members to be up and doing to ensure that the business becomes viable.
He said by reviving BODABSCO, which became dormant a few years ago the assembly hopes to reap profits from its operations.
Mr Bukari took opportunity to urge all “galamsey” operators in the mining areas at Digare to send their gold bearing rocks for crushing and processing at the plant instead of the present crude way of pounding the ore, which is also hazardous to the health of the people.
The Municipal Chief Executive assured members of the board that everything would be done by his administration to support them in their operations.
The chairman of the board, Mr Robert Tator thanked members of the board and the assembly for the confidence reposed in him, and pledged the commitment of the members to ensure that BODABSCO thrives to bring in the needed revenue for the development of the district.
