Rescind decision on declassification of Achimota Forest reserve – Claimant to the Ga stool tells Akufo-Addo
A claimant to the Ga stool, Boni Nii Tackie Adama Latse II has called on President Akufo-Addo and the Lands and Natural Resources Minister to rescind the decision on the declassification of some portions of the Achimota Forest reserve.
In a statement issued on Tuesday by the Ga Dzasetse, Nii Yaote Oto Ga II, Boni Nii Tackie Adama Latse II and the Ga Dzase want the government to immediately withdraw the Executive Instrument 144 which sought to declassify the Achimota Forest.
This, Boni Nii Tackie Adama Latse II contends will protect the ecological integrity of the Achimota Forest.
“We, therefore, call on His Excellency President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo and the Hon. Minister for Lands and Natural Resources to rescind the decision by immediately withdrawing E.I 144 to protect the ecological integrity of the capital’s forest,” portions of the statement read.
