“As part of Ghana’s transformation, we plan to establish a new green city spanning the Greater Accra, Volta, and Eastern regions. I will soon inaugurate an inter-ministerial committee to guide the design and feasibility study of this city. A transaction advisor will also be appointed to lead the implementation process.
“This will be a green, digital city showcasing cutting-edge technology in urban design, planning, and innovation. The project is planned as a 20-year initiative, to be executed in four phases, with the first phase expected to commence before my tenure ends. I invite our Chinese colleagues to be part of this important project,” he stated.
