By Joshua Worlasi AMLANU The mining industry has raised serious concerns over the government’s decision to triple the Growth and Sustainability Levy from one percent to three percent on gross production, warning that the move could significantly erode investor confidence and undermine the sector’s long-term stability. The increase, announced as part of Finance Minister Dr. Cassiel Ato Baah Forson’s 2025 Budget Statement delivered to Parliament on Tuesday, will extend the levy until 2028, shocking industry leaders who claim they received minimal advance notice and no meaningful consultation. Sulemana Koney, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Ghana Chamber of Mines, criticised the government’s approach, saying the industry was blindsided by the policy shift. “What concerns me most is the lack of consultation.

Leon Balogun has revealed he asked God to help Jack Butland secure a penalty shoot-out win over Fenerbahce – and admitted he believes Rangers can now go all the way in the Europa League.

However, Butland was the hero in setting up a last-eight showdown with Spaniards Athletic Bilbao. He kicked things off by getting his body in the way of Dusan Tadic’s effort, but, with the scores balanced at 2-2 after Hagi’s miss

A federal judge temporarily paused the Trump administration’s “illegal” reductions in force and reinstated approximately 20,000 probationary government employees across 18 agencies who had been terminated. U.S. District Judge James Bredar — an Obama appointee — concluded that the Trump administration failed to provide the legally required advanced notice before it tried to conduct “massive layoffs.” The judge also prohibited the Trump administration from conducting future mass firings without giving notice. “When the federal government terminates large numbers of its employees, including those still on probation because they were recently hired or promoted, it must follow certain rules,” Bredar wrote. The ruling applies to 18 of the federal agencies named as defendants in the case except for the Defense Department, the National Archives and the Office of Personnel Management. The
