Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has announced that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) will build a harbour and an airport for Cape Coast in the Central Region when re-elected into power.
He made this pronouncement at the launch of the NPP Manifesto held at the University of Cape Coast on the 22nd of August,2020.
“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”,he said.
Speaking on the rationale behind its location, the Vice President stated that Cape Coast is known to be a tourist attraction and as such it was very strategic to situate a harbour and an airport at Cape Coast.
“It is very critical that we do that. An airport makes a lot of sense in Cape Coast. It is a real tourist hub and when you bring together Greater Accra, Kumasi and Cape Coast, you have a triangle that really is a hub of economic activities. We can build railway lines between them and it’s a major growth pole if we put an airport here to drive infrastructural growth”.
The NPP manifesto launch is ongoing with a little over 120 persons present to facilitate the easy adherence to the COVID-19 safety protocols.
