Politics aside, if this is a project with SSNIT as major shareholder, it looks like a good investment. Cathedral was a good project but it was not well packaged and it became political issue. I am still surprised that NPP could not complete it in 8 years in power because where there is political will, opposition may have their say but cannot halt a government project. Hope this project can be completed. Would have been nice to have it outside Accra though!

Mahama has only two years to go. Where is the money? Has money been allocated for the project or he is starting it and expecting someone else to find the money to complete it?

@Abi, you sound quite ignorant.What do you think a Convention Centre is for, it's basically a place for Trade Fairs and the site is already a Trade Fair site. NPP I believe had something like this in mind but Nana Addo's personal promise to God to build a Cathedral derailed them.

As for putting up such a structure at this site is long overdue, I don't know what the previous governments were waiting form.The spot is just correct, access to the place is very convenient, from Osu along the beach, from the center of the Labadi township,from 37 Hospital straight down and Teshie and Nungua stretch.Perfect.

Mr. Mahama, this is not a sensible idea. Are you telling Ghana and the world that with AfcTa located in Ghana, we will not host any trade fair or event? This is a bogus idea. Put pride aside and shame aside and make the so called hole at ridge the place for such a centre. The so called hole will take 5000 plus persons so why go for 3000 and on top of that waste the scare land we have in Accra. As for Mahama, I really can't understand what goes on in his mind when he wakes up.

@Wendy, Convention Centres are used for Trade Fairs as well.It is simply an Events site nothing complicated.

What has happened to the 20,000 sitter convention center that was in progress before the change of government. Are we serious as a country? From 20,000 capacity to 3000 capacity at the same place.

@DU, you are right as we all know that this project is the initiative of SSNIT however, a 20,000 capacity Convention Centre was started by the previous government ( unless it is a ghost project) why will SSNIT with the government not agree to commit resources to finish this as it will serve the same purpose but with a larger capacity to accommodate more people. I just can't think far.

This is SSNIT project to be funded by workers contributions, what has that got to do with government? Always meddling in workers affairs.

Is the project national? Build it in Accra. It is not national if built in any other region.
