Deputy Energy Minister, Emmanuel Kofi Bua, has assured Nzema Youth that government will seek their best interest at all times.The youth are up in arms against some government functionaries who they accuse of masterminding the relocation of a gas processing plant.The plant was originally planned to be sited in Bonyere in the Jomoro District in the Western Region but according to the youth, people in high places plotted to have the plant relocated to Atuabo in the Ellembele District.Although the new location is still within the Nzema area, the group says reasons given for the relocation are suspicious.Estimated to cost $1.2 billion, the gas processing facility is expected to produce 300 million cubic feet of gas per day and create about 5,000 jobs for GhanaiansMark Asmah Arthur, Secretary to the Western Nzema Youth Association told Ebenezer Afanyi Dadzie of Radio Maxx in Takoradi the reasons for the relocation were untenable.He cited Dr Sipa Yankey, Emmanuel Bua as masterminding the relocation.But in a reaction, the Deputy Minister of Energy told Joy News they have not yet finalized where the plant will be sited.He explained they are still conducting feasibility studies to find out which location will best suit the project.He implored the youth to be patient as the final decision will be in the best interest of all.
