The Deputy Minister of Transport, Dorcas Affo-Toffey, on Monday, April 27, 2026, joined the President, John Mahama, the Transport Minister, Joseph Bukari Nikpe, Foreign Affairs Minister, Samuel Okudzato Ablakwa, and other ministers of state at the Accra International Airport for the sod-cutting ceremony marking the commencement of a critical infrastructure project.
The project involves the construction of a concourse to seamlessly link Terminals 2 and 3 at the airport.
This strategic development is expected to significantly enhance operational efficiency at the country’s premier aviation hub, ensuring faster connections, smoother passenger transfers, and an improved travel experience for passengers passing through Ghana’s gateway.
Under the leadership of President Mahama, the government, through the Ministry of Transport, says it remains committed to delivering modern, world-class infrastructure.
The project forms part of a broader infrastructure expansion agenda aimed at easing congestion and strengthening Ghana’s position as a leading aviation hub in West Africa.
President Mahama underscored that the project goes beyond symbolism, describing it as a strategic investment in efficiency, passenger experience, and the country’s long-term economic future.
He noted that the steady rise in passenger traffic, from 1.8 million in 2022 to 2.5 million in 2025, reflects Ghana’s growing connectivity and increasing appeal as a travel destination.
While acknowledging the progress, President Mahama pointed to rising operational pressures, particularly during peak hours, where congestion continues to affect key airport services. He stressed that urgent interventions were necessary to prevent further strain on efficiency and service delivery.
