Dr. Solomon Owusu, a United States-based Ghanaian mining engineer, has been recognized for his tireless efforts in fighting illegal mining, commonly known as galamsey, in Ghana.
In a statement, Dr. Owusu expressed his sense of triumph and vindication, saying, “Thanks be to God for vindicating me.”
Dr. Owusu’s crusade against galamsey has been marked by relentless attacks, frustration, and insults from those seeking to maintain the status quo of pollution and devastation. However, his perseverance is driven by his commitment to minimizing environmental pollution and degradation while creating jobs and generating wealth for Ghanaian youth.
Dr. Owusu further criticized the Akufo-Addo-led administration for its failure to effectively address the galamsey issue, citing greed, corruption, and politicization as major obstacles. He expressed gratitude to former President John Mahama for his support and encouragement during his struggle against illegal mining.
With his vindication, Dr. Owusu has renewed his call to action, urging all citizens to join him in the fight against galamsey. He disclosed that he would remain steadfast in his commitment to saving Ghana from environmental disaster and building a brighter future for generations to come.
It has been asserted that Dr. Owusu’s heroic efforts have sparked hope for a galamsey-free Ghana, and his message has resonated with many who share his vision for a sustainable and prosperous nation.
