The Minister of Roads and High­ways, Mr Francis Asenso-Boakye, has called on Turk­ish investors to prioritise Ghana as their top most investment destination.

Speaking at the 11th World Cooperation Industries (WCI) Forum on the theme, 'Invest in Africa, Invest in the Future,' held in the Turkish capital, Istanbul, he highlighted Ghana's immense potential for growth and strategic partnerships, with a particular focus on Ghana's thriving infra­structure sector.

Asenso-Boakye emphasised the critical role of infrastructure, es­pecially roads and highways, as the foundation for economic develop­ment and specifically spotlighted the 957km Abidjan-Lagos Corridor Project, which spans five West African countries-Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Togo, Benin, and Nigeria.

He said with over 50 per cent of the highway passing through Ghana, the project offers vast opportunities for investments in manufacturing, tourism, technolo­gy and logistics. "The Abidjan-Lagos Highway is not just a road, but a catalyst for economic growth across the Economic Communities of West ECOWAS region.
