Asantehene wants action over Boankra Inland Port

The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, has called on government to complete the Boankra Inland Port project, to open up the middle belt for increased economic activity.

“The progress on the Airport project is commendable but the Inland Port project is also at a slow pace.

The coming in of the Inland Port and the International Airport with the railway will boost the economy.

The Inland Port project has been delayed.

Even if it means to get a share of the IMF loan to complete the Inland Port project, it is possible,” he said.

Work on Phase Two (2) of the Kumasi Airport Project began in 2018.

Phase three of the Kumasi Airport Expansion Project involves the extension of the existing runway pavement from 1,981 meters to 2,320 meters, the construction of new taxi link and two Apron Parking Stands, an Air Traffic Control Building, and a Fire Station among others.
