Addressing the press in Accra on Sunday, October 9, 2022, he said “I want to advise people in Accra to start looking for land in the Oti Region because what is going to take Ghana from our current state to a very industrialised nation has been found in the Oti Region and that is the iron ore.
“Currently we are at a stage the technical people will call mineral resource estimation to get the actual tonnage available on the land.”
He mentioned that the iron ore was found in the Guan, Biakoye, Jasikan, Kajebi, and Krachi districts of the Oti Region.
Makuba indicated that iron ore exploration is a crucial step in mine development as it bridges the gap between mineral exploration and commodity production.
