Ghana Launches Technical Committee to Drive Accra Marine Drive Project Forward
Ghana's Minister for Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts, Abla Dzifa Gomashie, inaugurated a Technical Committee on Wednesday to accelerate the long-delayed Accra Marine Drive Tourism Investment Project. The ceremony, held at the Ministry in Accra, marks a renewed push to transform the capital's waterfront into a hub for tourism, leisure and commerce after years of planning and administrative setbacks. Gomashie called on the committee to address bureaucratic bottlenecks and ensure full inter-agency coordination, stating that the project must be expedited within an 18 to 24-month mandate.
The committee, chaired by Deputy Minister Yussif Issaka Jajah, brings together representatives from the Ghana Tourism Authority, the Ghana Tourism Development Company, the Accra Metropolitan Assembly, the Lands Commission, utility providers and private sector consultants. Its remit covers technical guidance, implementation oversight, and ensuring the project is delivered on time and within budget. The Marine Drive Project is regarded as a flagship government initiative with significant potential to attract private investment, generate employment and revitalise economic activity along Accra's coastline.
