President Mahama expected at Sentuo Airport Garden City Project unveiling

President John Dramani Mahama is set to attend a significant event on Tuesday, September 15, 2026, in Accra at 2:00 p.m. The ceremony will take place at Sentuo Airport Garden City project site, located at 10 Giffard Road. The Special Guest of Honour for the event is the President, who will officially unveil the development dubbed "The Garden Above Accra".

The project is an ambitious US$1.3 billion venture that promises to revolutionize Accra with a blend of premium apartments, a hotel, conference facilities, healthcare services, a shopping mall, expansive gardens, and various commercial and leisure amenities. Leading this venture is Sentuo Group, headed by Executive Chairman Xu Ningquan. The conference facility, capable of hosting 2,500 people, is expected to further bolster Accra’s capacity for meetings, exhibitions, and larger gatherings.

This development is poised to benefit a diverse range of stakeholders. For Ghanaian professionals and families living abroad, it offers the prospect of residing in an integrated community that provides not only housing but also hospitality, shopping, and recreational spaces. The project’s appeal lies in its holistic approach, bringing essential services and recreational opportunities into one seamless setting.

From an economic perspective, the construction phase of the project is anticipated to generate demand for various skilled professionals, including engineers, artisans, technicians, and building materials. Once operational, the hotel and conference facilities are expected to stimulate demand in hospitality, catering, transport, and property management sectors.

These economic opportunities hinge on the successful delivery of the planned facilities and the involvement of local firms in construction and service contracts. Additionally, practical training and skill transfer could provide a valuable boost to young people entering these industries, ensuring long-term benefits for the community.

The ceremony, titled "Building Ghana’s Future Together," underscores the private investment’s role in driving Ghana’s development, with the focus squarely on the opportunities such ventures can offer the nation.
