Introduction
It is my pleasure to be here this morning to brief you on the policies and current state of implementation of programmes and projects being pursued by the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources and its sector agencies at this year’s Meet-the-Press series. My presentation today will cover the three sub-sectors of the Ministry, namely Mines, Forestry and Lands, within the Ghana Shared Growth and Development Agenda (GSGDA) and consistent with the Government Agenda for a Better Ghana.
