Kumasi's Future Soars: New Airport and Inland Port on the Horizon

Kumasi Development Project: UK Envoy Promises Airport and Inland Port Kumasi, Ghana – In a significant development for the Ashanti region, UK Trade Envoy Bell Ribeiro Addy has pledged to support the construction of a new airport and inland port in Kumasi. This announcement has been met with enthusiasm by local officials and residents, who see it as a major boost to the region's economy and infrastructure. The video shows the announcement and interviews with local people. "This is great news for Asanteman," one resident stated in an interview shown in the video. "The new airport and port will bring jobs and opportunities, and improve our connection to the rest of the world." However, the video also highlights the poor condition of existing roads leading to Kumasi. The reporter points out that the current travel time can be as long as five or six hours, creating a significant obstacle to economic development. The planned infrastructure improvements are expected to reduce travel time to approximately two and a half hours. The construction of the airport and inland port is part of a larger effort to modernize Kumasi's infrastructure and improve its connectivity. The project is expected to have a significant positive impact on the region's economy and quality of life, creating numerous jobs and opportunities for the people of Asanteman. The project is expected to be completed in the near future.
