Vice President Bawumia tours Ghana Trade Fair redevelopment project with industry stakeholders.

Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the Vice President and NPP flagbearer, recently visited the Ghana International Trade Fair Centre to inspect the progress of its redevelopment project. The project aims to transform the centre into a world-class multipurpose complex, featuring a luxury hotel, modern retail mall, Made in Ghana Pavilion, state-of-the-art data centre, AfCFTA Secretariat, and recreational spaces.

The redevelopment project is expected to generate over 10,000 permanent jobs and contribute $150 million annually to Ghana's economy. Dr. Bawumia emphasized the importance of the project, particularly the 20,000-capacity Convention Centre, which he described as a "game-changer" for the creative arts industry.

The Convention Centre, set to be completed by June 2025, will include a 5,000-square-meter pre-event lobby with a Made in Ghana gift shop, restaurant, forex bureau, and lounge seating. Its multifunctional event space will cater to concerts, conferences, exhibitions, and trade fairs, with the capacity to host up to 20,000 attendees.
