During her visit, she praised the company's ongoing efforts to enhance airport infrastructure and services, such as reconfiguring Terminal 2, improving terminal connectivity, and carrying out runway works to handle increasing passenger traffic. In a post on X, the Vice President expressed her appreciation for GACL's efforts to diversify revenue streams and announced that the company had made its first dividend payment to the government.\n\nThe government remains committed to expanding Ghana's aviation sector by developing new regional airports, upgrading existing facilities, and positioning the nation as a significant aviation and economic hub, according to Prof. Opoku Agyemang. As the host of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Secretariat, Ghana's aviation sector plays a vital role in facilitating trade, attracting investment, and enhancing access to regional and international markets. The Vice President emphasized that Ghana's airports serve as the first point of contact for many visitors, making the professionalism of airport personnel just as crucial as operational efficiency, proper maintenance, and sustainability.\n\nIn her address, Prof. Opoku Agyemang honored the company's board, past and present management, staff, and all stakeholders, encouraging them to continue their achievements as GACL enters its next phase. She stressed the importance of developing Ghanaian expertise and creating opportunities for young people and women within the industry to ensure sustainable growth.",
