Trade Fair Center will bounce back - Dr. Agnes Adu reassures

The known, vibrant, exciting, entertaining and business hub in Ghana, The Ghana Trade Fair Company is on the verge of bouncing back to its glorious ways.

Very soon the location would be renovated to an international ground housing technological entities including telecommunication companies, Exhibition center, entertainment or an amusement centre and trading oriented organisations.

The Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Trade Fair Company, Dr. Agnes Adu, told Ghanaians during an interview on “3boboba” the morning show on Homebase TV in an interview with Nana Yaa Boamponsem Ameyaw.

She said plans are far advanced in making sure the company bounces back to its old glorious days.

Dr. Adu said in three to five years time the facility should be seen working in a new and renovated way employing more Ghanaians to ease the unemployment menace in the country.

She continued that engineers have been engaged to do feasibility studies for the upgrading and renovation of the area.

Dr. Agnes Adu said the facility depleted due to the bad culture of maintenance of Ghanaian’s, adding that the 1st President of the Republic of Ghana, Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah did well by establishing the facility.

She said eviction notices have been circulated to occupants of the facility for the renovation work to begin to make sure the known trade fair bounces back.

She narrated how the facility was neglected by the erstwhile administration depleting the facility to some extend but added that private partners have been engaged to bounce back the Ghana Trade Fair Company.

The Ghana international trade fair project was conceived by the government of Ghana in the 1960s. The objective was to build a first class multi-purpose international trade fair and conference center.

This was in direct response to the massive industrialization and infrastructural development projects embarked by the government after the attainment of independence in 1957.

The project was therefore to enable Ghana to showcase and promote her exportable products and services with a view of attracting investors.
