As part of its Corporate Social Responsibilities, C&G Aleksa Company Limited, a mining firm based in the Western Region has fulfilled a significant social intervention project - for the Southern Command of the Ghana Armed Forces, at Teshie in Accra.
The project involves the re-construction and asphalting of the main entrance road that leads to the administration block; asphalting of visitors’ car park, as well as, tarring of the entire 300metre square Parade Square.
The work also included installation of CCTV cameras and other security fittings at the Command, at the cost of two million cedis (GHc 2m).
The successful completion of this magnificent project, has visibly transformed the military base, particularly, the front view. The projects have already been handed over to the authorities of the Southern Command, led by Brigadier-General Oppong-Peprah.
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the company, Mr. Simon Aydin, said the project was in line with the company’s civic responsibilities to society, mostly at its mining enclave in the Wassa Amenfi area.
He also mentioned, plans to commence the second phase of the project at the Southern Command which involves construction of all link-roads within the Command.
Mr. Aydin further said, the company is determined and very committed to contribute its quota to society, as a responsible and law-abiding entity, in order to lessen the burden on government.
He assured that, the company would not renege on its corporate social responsibilities, adding that, these interventions form the “core values” of the company.
Other places that have benefitted from the mining firm’s social responsibility projects, include, Sraha, Dwobo, Ayem, Amanase, Akatrika, as well as, Ajakamanso all in the Western region.
For instance, the six-unitclassroom facility the company promised the Amanase community is near completion whiles a clinic would start as soon as the completion of the school.
Dwobo community also has asked the company to help them complete their Community Centre project, which is currently under construction. Aside that project, the community also benefitted from cash donations ranging from GH¢60, 000 to GH¢100, 000.
At Ayem community, C&G Aleksa Ltd is again undertaking KVIP toilet facility, which is under construction, in addition to a cash amount of GH¢80, 000 given to the community.
Again, the company is constructing in Akatrika community, a major bridge after it has dug boreholes for that community alongside other immeasurable contributions made to the people.

Kweku ananse, guys like you are the reason we are poor even though we're sitting on gold. Massa, social responsibilities for a company like this should never be a voluntary act it must be well laid out for everyone to follow. You cant devastate the western region and then come to Accra to bribb authorities with this bollshit you call project. CSR for a mining company all over the world is strictly enforced. You can't pick and choose what you want to do. The community you're devastating must tell you exactly what to do for them. Who cares what you do in Accra! Go back and satisfy the needs of the people you are talking their wealth away. Forking tiives
damage control. this is the company that Ken has been on their neck for some time now. this action vindicates Ken. we have to wake up guys.
So you want the company to donate a human being as its CSR?
THIS IS THE COMPANY THAT THE LATE MAJOR MAHAMA WAS GUARDING WHEN HE WAS KILLED. THEY MAKE SO MUCH FROM US AND THROW DOWN CRUMBLES TO US AS SCR AND WE ARE ALL OVER THE PLACE PRAISING THEM. THIS SCR IS NOT WORTH MAJOR MAHAMAS LIFE. APUU
