Mahama Orders Completion of Anomabu Fisheries College

Capecoast, Ghana - 06 Feb, 2025 - Ghana's President, John Dramani Mahama, has directed the Fisheries Minister, Emelia Arthur, to collaborate with the Finance Minister to secure funding for the completion of the Anomabu Fisheries College.

The college, initiated in 2011, was left unfinished after President Mahama's first term in office. The facility, designed to accommodate 300 students, aims to promote sustainable fishing practices and aquaculture education.

Speaking during his "Thank You" tour of the Central Region, President Mahama emphasized the importance of completing the project. He noted that only minimal work remains to be done, including the provision of furniture, teaching materials, and campus roadwork.

The President assured that his government would prioritize funding to ensure the facility's timely completion, with a focus on completing the first phase before moving on to phase two.

“…this is why we promised to continue all abandoned projects, whether started by the NPP or the NDC,” Mahama said.

“We will find the funds to complete them. The project is close to completion only chairs, tables, beds, and other materials are needed, as well as some campus roads to finish the first phase. Fortunately, every government prepares a new budget, and the Finance Minister will present it in Parliament this March.

“I have instructed the Fisheries Minister to take immediate action and collaborate with the Finance Minister to allocate the necessary funds to complete the project. Once we finish phase one, we will focus on phase two,'' President Mahama stated.
