Renowned broadcast journalist and host of Peace FM’s Kokrookoo morning show Kwami Sefa Kayi, known as “Chairman General,” has expressed scepticism about the feasibility of constructing an airport in Cape Coast.
The host of Ghana’s popular morning show “Kokrokoo” on Peace FM shared his views on the proposed airport for Cape Coast in the Central Region.
In 2021, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo pledged to build an international airport in the Central Regional capital, with feasibility studies reportedly nearing completion.
Further details about the project emerged in 2023, revealing plans for the airport to include the first aircraft repair center in West Africa.
Located near Komenda in the Komenda Edina Eguafo Abrem (KEEA) Municipality, the project aims to serve the entire sub-region with its aircraft repair center, positioning it as a significant aviation hub in West Africa.
But to Chairman General, “Building an airport in Cape Coast is a useless venture. Look, it will be as useless as the Ho airport”.
He categorically said this on his show Thursday morning.
