Dr. Kwaku Afriyie, the Minister of Environment, Science, Technology, and Innovation, conducted an inspection tour of the Handover Center (HoC) for e-waste at the Ghana Atomic Energy Commission (GAEC) in Accra. The HoC will serve as the national storage site for all e-waste.

Currently at 65% completion, the project is expected to be fully operational by October 2022. The contractor, Memphis Metropolitan Ltd, expressed confidence in meeting the deadline. Once operational, the Handover Center will create job opportunities and combat improper e-waste disposal. The visit was attended by Director PPME, MESTI, Madam Lydia Essuah, and other ministry staff.
