Work has com­menced for the comple­tion of a theatre complex, which has been abandoned for the past 36 years at the Western Regional Centre for National Culture (CNC) at Fijai, near Sekondi.

The GH¢45million edifice with a 2,000 capacity started in 1988, but, stalled due to delays in finances.

It had travelled more than four successive govern­ments and remained abandoned since 2009.
