On Monday, November 9, the Vice President, Professor Jane Naana Opoku Agyemang joined the board, management and staff of Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL) to mark two decades of connecting Ghana to the world, facilitating trade, tourism and investment, and contributing to our national development.
She said that GACL is working to improve airport infrastructure and services, including reconfiguring Terminal 2, enhancing terminal connectivity, and undertaking runway works to accommodate growing passenger traffic.
“I also welcome its efforts to diversify revenue, as well as the announcement of GACL’s first dividend payment to Government,” she wrote on X after the engagement.
Prof Opoku Agyemang further said that the government remains committed to developing new regional airports, upgrading existing facilities and positioning Ghana as a major aviation and economic hub.
As host of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Secretariat, she said, Ghana requires improved air connectivity to facilitate trade, attract investment and expand access to regional and international markets.
For many visitors, she added that Ghana’s airports offer a first encounter with Ghanaian hospitality, making the professionalism of our airport personnel as important as operational efficiency, proper maintenance, and sustainability. Developing Ghanaian expertise and creating opportunities for young people and women must also remain central to the industry’s growth.
“I congratulate the board, past and present management, staff, and all stakeholders. As the company enters its next phase, I encourage its leadership and workforce to build on these achievements,” she said.
