Leadership and members of the Frafra organization, Alagumgube, have taken matters into their own hands to push for the construction of the Bolgatanga Airport. Apexnewsgh reports
Led by Mr. Gabriel Agambila, the group cleared the proposed airport site’s runway, paving the way for asphalting to commence.
Their efforts coincide with President John Dramani Mahama’s Thank You Tour visit to the Upper East Region.
During his address, the Nangode Chief, speaking on behalf of the Chiefs, reminded the President of the region’s long-standing desire for an airport.
President Mahama reassured the crowd that the airport’s construction is a priority, albeit through a Public Private Partnership (PPP) with mining companies operating in the region.
The President explained that the airport will not only benefit the local community but also facilitate the transportation of gold from the mining companies to Accra. Heartened by the President’s commitment, the Alagumgube members have expressed their gratitude and confidence in President Mahama’s ability to deliver on his promises.
This development is a significant milestone in the region’s growth, as President Mahama aims to bridge the economic gap between the north and south. The Upper East Region, in particular, has been identified as having immense potential to compete favorably with other regions.
