Prof Frimpong-Boateng advised the District Mining Committee headed by the District Chief Executives to eschew partisan politics in the distribution of concessions.

She said 331 trainees, out of the first batch of 500 had graduated from the 11 Community Development Vocational and Technical Institutes (CDVTIs) as part of the institutional level training programme.
