Cape Coast airport commitment 100% – Akufo-Addo
President Nana Akufo-Addo has said his government’s “commitment to build the Cape Coast Airport is 100%”, adding: “Work is ongoing on it and I think very soon, just as we have seen in Wa, Ho and Sunyani, Cape Coast will also get its own airport.”
The president reiterated his commitment to the project when he began his 2-day working tour of the Central Region on Monday, 18 October 2021.
In the lead-up to the 2020 general elections, Vice-president Mahamadu Bawumia, while cataloguing some essential details of the governing New Patriotic Party’s manifesto, revealed that the next Akufo-Addo government will build the airport and a harbour in the capital of the Central Region.
Dr Bawumia told NPP supporters at the manifesto launch in Cape Coast on Saturday, 22 August 2020 that an airport and harbour are crucial for such the region, since they attract a lot of tourists.
“We will accelerate our investments in roads, railways and ports. And for the people of Cape Coast, I have good news for you: we are building a new harbour in Cape Coast and a new airport in Cape Coast”, Dr Bawumia announced.
“It is very critical that we do that”, he said.
An airport, he explained, “makes a lot of sense in Cape Coast”.
“It’s a real tourism hub”, he added.
“Between Greater Accra and Kumasi and Cape Coast, you have a triangle that is really a hub of economic activities”.
“It is a major growth pole if we put an airport there to drive infrastructural growth”, he promised”, the Vice-president observed.
