CONCERNED CITIZENS OF NKROFUL,

NKROFUL, ELLEMBELLE.

THE PRESIDENT,
EASTERN NZEMA TRADITIONAL COUNCIL,
ATUABO, ELLEMBELLE.

Awulae,

NEED FOR STAKEHOLDERS' MEETING TOWARDS UNDERSTANDING OF THE RECENT HOUSE-NUMBERING ACTIVTIES OF THE ADAMUS RESOURCES LTD (ENDEAVOUR CORPORATION) IN THE NKROFUL COMMUNITY.

As a concerned group, we wish to implore you to use your outfit as the traditional head of our land to create the needed platform for information sharing among stake holders in relation to the above, to avert any untoward circumstances which may emanate from the inadequate information characterizing the recent activities of the above company.

PROBLEM STATEMENT
Following several meetings by our Chief Nana KwasiKutuah V and Elders (including Assembly members) with the District Assembly Management, it was made clear that for the District Assembly to lift the embargo it has placed on the giving of building permit to some part of the Nkroful community, the Adamus Resources Ltd (ARL) has to be allowed to demarcate its buffer zone.

From Saturday 19th July, ARL commenced the supposed buffer zoning exercise however with some other activities which are creating anxiety, fear and panic among our people. The household ownership information and the taking of photographs of property owners and the filling of some forms, are feared by us, as the beginning of a process which will culminate in the resettlement of the people leaving in the affected area of the community.

Meanwhile, several discussions with the Assembly members indicate that the Company had a meeting with our Chief and some Elders of the Nkroful Community resident in Accra relating to the on-going exercise. Our Chief however upon receiving the report from one of our Assembly members, regarding the things being done beyond the buffer zone ordered for the exercise to be stopped. Unfortunately, the Company is still going on with its work.

The Chief, Nana KwasiKutuah has not yet come to let the community understand in detail, what constitute the Accra Accord.

In the wake of the several youth groups agitating and pressuring the Assembly Members to step aside and allow them confront the Company on the Exercise; and when the Assembly members seem to have no answers to such pressures, write to bring this menace to your notice, hoping for a plausible solution.

In anticipation that your outfit will attach to this letter, the needed urgency it deserves, we thank you very much in advance.

Sincerely yours,
.............................................. ........................................................
