The Western Regional Minister, Joseph Nelson, has given Wangkang Ceramics Company Limited a one-week ultimatum to stop its illegal activities that are polluting River Anankore in the Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolis.
The Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL) and the Water Resources Commission (WRC) reported that the company had refused to comply with previous directives to halt the obstruction of the river’s flow and purity. Several attempts to resolve the issue had failed due to the company’s resistance.
Following discussions on March 7, 2025, the minister warned that the company must find alternative waste management solutions and clear any obstructions in the river to ensure an uninterrupted water supply. He emphasized that the matter’s resolution now depends on the company’s actions.
