Work on Accra Harbour begins in August
Accra, June 27, Ghanadot/GNA – Encroachers on the land
earmarked for the construction of the Accra Harbour project
on Friday resolved to vacate to enable construction to begin
in August.
Nii Teiko Tagoe, Director, Old Accra Conservation
Development Project, speaking at a consultative meeting with
leaders of the various unions denied allegations that
squatters were paying rents to the Ghana National
Fishermen’s Council.
Nii Tagoe said funds had been made available for the
commencement of the project and that general engineering
works on the land had already begun.
He said the harbour would have facilities such as store
rooms, cold stores, sheds, premix station and early
childhood development centre.
The project is an initiative of the Ministry of Fisheries to
improve 14 landing sites in the country.
Nii Tagoe called on the various unions to unite and support
the project to ensure successful completion adding that
nobody should read politics into it.
He said the first phase of the project would be the
rehabilitation of the breakwater which serves as a rock
between land and sea, diverting water into the bay.
