EFEDCOM elects Adama Soro as new president

The ECOWAS Federation of Chambers of Mines (EFEDCOM) has elected Adama Soro, who is  currently the President of the Burkina Faso Chamber of Mines as the Federation’s President. 

The election of Mr. Soro took place at the Federation’s General Assembly Meeting in Accra during  the West African Mining & Power Conference and Exhibition. The Assembly Meeting was  attended by Presidents and Chief Executives of Chambers from Ghana, Togo, Nigeria, Cote  D’Ivoire, Burkina Faso and Liberia.  

Other elected executives include Alhaji Shehu Sani as Chairman; Christine Logbo-Kossi as Vice  Chairperson; Chaikou Diallo as Treasurer and Mr. Sulemanu Koney as Executive Director. 

The new President is expected to lead the Federation in realizing its strategic mission of advocating  for sustainable and responsible mining policies to grow the industry in the sub-region.  

Mr. Soro in a brief remark noted that the Federation would continue to work and collaborate with  various stakeholders within the industry to ensure that West Africa derived maximum benefits  from mining and helped improve the lives of the people.  

He said it was his expectation that the various Chambers would continue to learn from each other  and share experiences on best practices to help improve their business operations as well as benefit  the communities and countries at large.

Profile of Adama Soro 

Adama Soro is the Vice-President in charge of Public Affairs of Endeavour Mining, a Mining  Group in Burkina Faso.

Exclusively based in West Africa, Endeavour Mining is the leading gold producer in  West Africa, employing approximately 6,500 employees throughout the Group. 

Mr. Soro has built his career in promoting the private sector in general and mining in particular.  He holds a University Diploma in Scientific Education (DUES) specialising in Special and Higher  Mathematics, a Master’s degree in Business Administration and Management Sciences and a  Certification in Global Learning Initiative for International Trade. 

He has also taken several training courses in the mining sector, including deposit management and  economic evaluation at Queen’s University in Kingston, Canada, and in Corporate Social  Responsibility (CSR) with the International Development Institute in collaboration with McGill  University of Canada. He has also been an adjunct faculty on CSR at some universities in Burkina  Faso. 

Mr. Soro worked for 18 years in International Affairs Development with French and Canadian  diplomatic and cooperation services, international trade, and extractive sector management. He  has participated in several national and regional initiatives as Trade Commissioner at the Canadian  Embassy in Burkina Faso where he facilitated the licensing process for many Canadian mining  companies including the signing of the first Foreign Investment Promotion and Protection  Agreement (FIPA) in 2015, between Burkina Faso and Canada.
