    Will be great to have many hangers at this facility to allow DHL, Fedex and Cargo planes to land solely to discharge goods for Takoradi oil industry and the mining industry.

    Mahama has just two more years to go. He is going to start building an airport and then blame someone for not continuing the project. We don't even have enough money to pave our roads.

    The former foreign owners of Damang Mines never thought beyond extracting gold and exporting it. No development was in their mind. Ghana was just fleeced. Open daylight robbery. It is nauseating.
