The Ministry of Finance has taken swift action to accelerate the construction of the Kumasi International Airport by releasing €7 million out of the remaining €9 million needed for the project.
This move comes after funding constraints caused delays in the expansion of the airport, which was originally scheduled for completion in June 2023.
The newly appointed Finance Minister, Dr. Mohammed Amin Adam, recently visited the airport facility and emphasized the urgency of completing the project. With 90 percent of the work already completed, the focus now lies on finalizing the runway extension and control tower.
Furthermore, plans are in place to demolish the old terminal and bring the airport up to international standards.
Dr. Amin Adam expressed confidence in the contractors’ ability to deliver on time and urged them to meet the two-month deadline for project completion.
He announced that the outstanding €2 million would be disbursed within a week to ensure uninterrupted progress.
Jorge Tavares de Almeida, the Project Director at Contracta Construction, provided insights into the remaining tasks, stating that approximately three more months would be needed to finalize the project.
In addition to the Kumasi International Airport, Dr. Amin Adam also addressed the stalled Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital Mother and Child Health project, which has been at 35 percent completion since January 2023.
The Finance Minister disclosed that €14 million had been released to facilitate the resumption of work following directives from the President to prioritize the completion of critical government projects.

Good people, don't you think the Regional Minister is giving you the information he has?
I can guarantee this too is going to pass. " He said" if we are lucky," ,? What ? Anybody believes this guy knows what's going on ?
My question is, is it going to accommodate international flights?
Planes from Kumasi to Accra are small. They have limited space for luggage. It is not realistic to do transit in Accra for small planes to Kumasi.
Last year I travel from JFK to Paris to Accra. There was an additional four hours but cheaper than traveling direct from JFK to Accra. When Kumasi becomes internationally operational some European airports may provide direct flights to Kumasi. The is no need for any one to worry. It is easy work for the airlines and the travel agents to do the connections
