Africa-Press – Ghana. President John Dramani Mahama has said he will soon inaugurate an Inter-Ministerial Committee to guide the design and feasibility study of the new Green City project.
He said as part of Ghana’s transformation, the Government plans to establish a new Green City that would straddle the three regions of Greater Accra, Volta, and Eastern Regions.
“I’ll also appoint a transaction advisor to lead the process for the implementation of this all-important project,” the President stated at the Presidential Business Forum in Beijing, China.
This forms part of President Mahama’s state visit to China at the invitation of Chinese President Xi Jinping.
President Mahama said the Green City would be a green digital city and would display cutting-edge technology in urban design, planning, and innovation.
“This city is planned to be a 20-year project executed in four phases. My expectation is that the first phase will commence before my tenure of office runs out,” the President said.
“I invite our Chinese colleagues to be a part of this all-important project. This is the new Ghana we’re creating. A 24-hour economy of opportunity and innovation. A bold infrastructure drive connecting every community and enterprise.”
“A modern agricultural engine that feeds our people and exports to the rest of the world.
“A digital revolution that empowers our youth and an industrial vision that adds value and secures prosperity for generations to come.”
He said Ghana offers Chinese investors not only stability and profitability, but also a strategic gateway to the heart of Africa.
Adding that in return, they seek partnerships that accelerate industrialization and advance technology transfer and create shared value for their people.
“Ours will be a win-win partnership. Your success in Ghana and investments will be our shared success.
Together, let us turn opportunities into achievements and ambitions into lasting prosperity,” he said.
