President John Dramani Mahama has assured the people of the Upper West Region that construction of a new airport in Wa will commence soon. After inspecting the site, the President confirmed that the existing Wa airport, originally built as an airstrip, no longer meets the needs of contemporary aviation, necessitating the construction of a modern facility.
The project is now set to progress following the Ghana Airports Company securing the necessary funding, which President Mahama confirmed was already available, removing the need for additional government funding. He revealed that the procurement phase has been completed and contractors have been chosen, paving the way for construction to commence in the near future.
This new airport is part of the government's broader strategy to enhance domestic air travel and bolster aviation infrastructure nationwide.
