Vice President, Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, has commended the country’s infrastructure development, describing Ghana’s airports as among the best on the African continent.
Delivering the keynote address during the 2025 Africa Prosperity Dialogue (APD), the Vice President stressed the significant role these facilities play in facilitating regional and international travel.
Prof. Opoku-Agyemang emphasised that Ghana’s modernization of its ports was aimed at boosting trade while ongoing expansion of road and rural networks seeks to connect key economic zones.
“Our airports are one of the best on the continent, I must admit. Our ports are being modernized to facilitate trade, and we are expanding our road and rural networks to connect key economic zones,” she stated.
She further underscored Ghana’s investments in energy infrastructure, which are designed to provide reliable and affordable power to industries and households.
She commended President Mahama for his commitment to infrastructure development, describing it as a key driver of Ghana’s economic transition.
However, she acknowledged that while progress had been made, there was still much to be done across Africa. She pointed to digital infrastructure as a critical area for investment, noting that mobile technology had already revolutionized financial inclusion across the continent.
