Speaking to the press following the engagement, GYAN President Azaglo Michael Fiakofi highlighted the fruitful outcomes of the dialogue, emphasizing that a tour of the ElectroChem facility provided critical insight into the operations and challenges of modern salt mining.

‎According to the GYAN leadership, the engagement successfully established a strong mutual understanding between the community and the corporate entity.

‎Central to the discussions was ElectroChem’s ambitious ten-year master plan.
