President John Dramani Mahama has called for local businesses and workers to be integral participants in the $1.3 billion Central Airport Garden City project. Addressing the project's groundbreaking in Accra on September 15, Mahama emphasized the importance of Ghanaian engineers, architects, artisans, technicians, suppliers, and other local businesses securing meaningful opportunities during the development.
He urged the project's developers, the Central Group, to treat local content as a crucial factor in the project's success, rather than merely a regulatory obligation. Mahama highlighted that the project, which will feature 582 premium apartments, a 600-room hotel, a conference facility for 2,500 people, and various healthcare, retail, and leisure amenities, will generate a wide array of goods and services.
He stressed that these opportunities should provide sustained economic benefits for Ghanaian entrepreneurs and workers after construction concludes.
