Prioritise Keta Port, landing sites too

President, I salute you on the successful completion and inauguration of the 70 million  Euro Elmina Fishing Harbour.

This no doubt is an important addition to the infrastructure of this nation.

However, there is a related matter that you have to prioritise as well.

It is the fact that it has been six years since your government announced the plan to develop the Keta Port and Landing sites.

We have since been told that the feasibility study for the project was completed over three years ago, but we have not seen any action at the site beyond the erection of a container office which has become tourist site and remains unused for over four years.

By the way, it has started corroding.

Can you give us an assurance that the Keta Port project is among your priority-project list?

As you reach the dying embers of your second term, I am appealing to you to leave the Keta enclave an important legacy by constructing this Keta Port whose strategic importance to Ghana is in no doubt because if its geographical location.

 This project promises to be a major economic booster for the entire Volta region and the entire country by creating jobs for the teeming unemployed youths, generating revenue for the state and easing the pressure on the Tema Port.

We the people of Keta will forever remember you, at least for starting this important project.Kindly leave us this 'adjapadie'.
