On Friday, 13th September, President Akufo-Addo commissioned the long-awaited Jamestown Fishing Harbour, fulfilling a promise he made to the people of Jamestown and Ghana as a whole.
This project, which had been a dream since 1965, now stands as a modern facility that will empower the livelihoods of our hardworking fisherfolk and transform the local economy.
According to President Akufo-Addo, it is a symbol of the commitment of his government to move beyond words and deliver on our promises.
The new harbour is more than just infrastructure—it is a lifeline for the people of Jamestown. With its state-of-the-art facilities, including a fish market, ice-making plant, cold store, and daycare centre for mothers, it will not only improve the handling and storage of fish but also create jobs and bring dignity to those who sustain their families and communities through fishing.
“This is governance that works for the people, improving lives and empowering future generations.
I am deeply satisfied to see this project completed, particularly as someone who grew up in this area. It is a personal joy to have been able to contribute to the development of Jamestown, a community that holds a special place in my heart. I extend my gratitude to the Ga Mantse and the entire community for their unwavering support and faith in this project” President Akufo-Addo stated.
