The Ministry for Finance has spent twelve million, seven hundred thousand cedis (GH¢12.7 million) to refurbish the Hall of Trade Unions of the Trades Union Congress.
President Akufo-Addo has stated that in the run-up to the December 2016 elections, as part of several stakeholder engagements he held, he was at the Hall of Trade Unions, where he interacted with the leadership of the TUC, and outlined his vision for the transformation of the country, if he was elected President of the Republic.
According to him, his Government did not hesitate after giving the node, adding, “Indeed, the state of the Hall of Trade Unions, at the time of my visit in 2016, and in the early years of my administration, would have made the likes of Pobee Biney, Vidal Quist and their successors very sad,” he said.
He said TUC has contributed towards the construction of the happy and prosperous Ghana, hence the support for renovation.
This refurbished Hall, he explained, is a fitting and proper tribute to the memory and work of the leadership of the TUC of yesteryear and today, leaders such as Joe-Fio Meyer, John Tettegah, B. A Bentum, A. M Issifu, A. K. Yankey, Christian Appiah Agyei, Kwasi Adu Amankwah, and Kofi Asamoah.
