| Government commits to completion of Boankra Inland Port |
 The Ghana Shippers Authority (GSA) has assured of the completion of the Boankra Inland Port project in the Ashanti region, aimed at enhancing the movement of goods to the northern sector of the country and other West African countries.
According to CEO of GSA, Prof. Ransford Gyampo, the government is committed to seeing to the completion of the project, despite the challenges being encountered. The Boankra Integrated Logistics and Terminal (BILT) project is a flagship initiative designed to provide a comprehensive logistics and transportation hub in Ghana. The project, executed by the local construction company, Justmoh Construction Limited, aims to reduce congestion at the Tema Port, improve efficiency in cargo handling, and provide a one-stop logistics facility for importers, exporters, and logistics service providers. Prof. Gyampo, who was at the site to inspect the progress, expressed his satisfaction with the work done so far. He emphasized the government's willingness to address legitimate concerns about the project to ensure its timely completion. The CEO's comment comes on the back of the country’s history of abandoning projects after a change of government, a situation he believes has hindered development. Prof. Gyampo argued that such projects should be viewed as national initiatives that transcend political divides. The Boankra Inland Port project is expected to have a significant impact on Ghana's economy, providing a much-needed boost to trade and commerce. Once completed, the facility will offer a range of services, including warehousing, container storage, customs clearance, among others. The project is also expected to create jobs and stimulate economic growth within catchment communities. The Ghana Shippers Authority is working closely with contractors and stakeholders to ensure that the project stays on track. The Chief Executive of Justmoh Construction Limited, Dr. Justice Amoh, in an interview after a site meeting with the Ghana Shippers Authority, appealed for timely financial disbursements. He stated that financial constraints have hindered the progress of the work. Project Consultant Dr. J.B. Koranteng-Yorke noted that phase one of the project is nearing completion. He added that contractors need to add some facilities to phase one to meet international standards. |
