“Part of the outstanding amount of money which was to be paid for work to resume has been paid to the contractor,” the Finance Minister said when he visited the airport.

“What is left is about just two million euros which we are going to do within one week so that the contractor would have no excuse as far as funding is concerned, to work to bring the project to completion.”

Dr. Amin Adam, who sounded positive, said, “But I’m impressing upon them to make sure by April 2024 they bring the works to closure so we can use the airport.”

According to him, the completion of the Kumasi International Airport project would go a long way to improve air travel and also improve the lives of the people.
