The President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has appealed to Ghanaians to renew his mandate in the 2020 elections.
“I want to thank you very much for the kind words you spoke about the performance of my government and the things that we are trying to do to bring improvement to Ghana.”
“And I am grateful to you, that you have supported the idea of four more years for Nana,” he said at Prampram on Wednesday, on Day 3 of his tour of Greater Accra, where he cut sod for ¢394 million Ningo-Prampram Sea Defence Wall.
President Akufo-Addo stated that Ningo-Prampram is potentially one of the most important tourist destinations in Ghana, adding that it cannot be a proper tourist area if nothing is done about the erosion.
In addition to the project protecting lives and property from destruction by tidal waves, the President indicated that the project will involve the reclamation of land, and the establishment of a mini-harbor to bring value to the project.
The Ministry of Works and Housing awarded the Ningo-Prampram Coastal Protection Project to Messrs Bridge Global Consolidated Limited, the Contractor, on October 18, 2019, at a Contract Sum of GH¢393,966,300.00. The Project Consultant is the Hydrological Services Department.
The Contractor, Messrs Bridge Global Consolidated Limited, is currently mobilizing to start the construction works.
The proposed coastal protection system under the Ningo-Prampram Coastal Protection Project is meant to protect a coastal stretch of 5 kilometres, and will be completed in four (4) years.
The scope of works under the project entails the construction of an armour rock revetment; the construction of a system of groynes; and the reclamation of land.
