Why is Ghana Building this $200 million Port for Burkina Faso in Ghana

Ghana's Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia cut sod for the construction of a $200 million Debre Port project and a 1,000-acre industrial park worth $250 million by LMI Holdings at Debre in the Central Gonja district of the Savannah Region.
The project is expected to facilitate the transportation of containers and other cargo from Tema port to the north of Ghana and other neighbouring countries.

This country is great, our congratulations for his leadership. The ingenious ideas from Ghana.

[@frostnelly45]

Ghanaians don't understand the president for now and I get it. Once all these projects are done they'll understand the full picture.👊❤️

[@donprincoify]

Brolla, Ghanaians understand things very clearly but we have developed this culture of impatience,shortsightedness and extreme partisanship. Do you think Ghanaians didn't know the benefit of the free education program, yet look at how some people fought against it's implementation. This brand of democracy is not a good fit for us and must be amended before it destroys us.

[@politicallyafrican6317]

Nkrumah in his time was unpopular because his vision was too big to be understood. He came under incessant coup attempts until he was finally deposed. Most people do not appreciate the vision of Akuffo Addo. His dream of developing Ghana as a tourist and industrial nation with people with appreciable level of education is yet to be understood. One day we will understand why he is expanding rail lines from one borderline to the other, why free shs, developing STEM education, 1D1F, renovating aiports (tamale, Kumasi, completing kotoka), expanding Accra- kumasi road, why year of return and cathedral. I laugh when people think Cathedral is purposely for church. Which church will accommodate burial of ex-presidents etc. This will become a land mark to consolidate pilgrimage of diaspora. I pray he finds the money to complete all his projects.

[@josephfrankappiah-nyamekye2542]

I for one will any who will see this project as crazy, as the craziest person on the globe. This is well intended project any government can ever consider doing. In the nut shell this is meant to take advantage of all the benefits our position on this continent with many land lucked countries around and our peaceful country like ghana as their immediate neighbour offer. I remember when World Food Program was thinking of the means to send food items to our land locked neigbours, they came to Ghana to explore the possibility of using ghana as a conduit to send the items. In response to such advantages the position of Ghana offers, this new inland port being envisaged, mot only fir Burkina Faso, but all other nearby land locked countries, as very worthwhile.

Even if this makes business and practical sense does it make Ghanaian daily livelihood sense? At least can the main road routes to carry those things away get some love. Projects like these should have infrastructure projects secured to them.

[@toddhodgson2130]

A port for $200 million. Are they buying it off Wish? Even with free labor, that is too cheep. IMHO.

[@patrickagyei6547]

How much do you expect the project to cost.

[@donprincoify]

TOO CHEAP? YOU must be a foreigner trying to drum up business for your country. If we used some of that money to train our engineers and professionals like the Egyptians,South Africans Algerians,Moroccans do, we could build the port and other projects for much less. Ethiopia completed a very nice Airport a couple of years ago for just $23 million because they used Ethiopian professionals assisted by Chinese advisors and state owned equipments acquired from China. How much did Mahama pay to change lighting at Kumasi airport alone?

[@michaelopoku2335]

Why cut the sword 3 times for commencement of work on Boankra Inland port and not do it? Why is Kumasi- Accra Road still a treacherous stretch? Why is there not one decent ceremonial road in the city of Kumasi? Where are the grazing laws to protect Kumasi from grazing cows?
