    Nana please invite Mahama for the commissioning ceremony.
    My love to see project completed and you know he initiated.
    Mills invited Kuffour for N1 commissioning ceremony. Do likewise.

    Can't believe it! Airport in the northern region? OMG!!!! While Koforidua doesn't have one. These will fight over birds like guinea fowl and destroy the facility very soon.

  • Frank Agyena-Karikari 7 years ago

    What Wa needed was not an airport but an airstrip. They needed a hospital, good roads and good drinking water. How many planes will fly to Wa in a week? We don't set our priorities right.

  • CONCERNED CITIZEN 7 years ago

    We are always pessimists.Always criticising.Let us wait to see whether the Wa airport will be a white elephant.There are so many poor hungry,homeless people in India,Pakistan,America,Britain and Russia and yet these nations s ...

    Unfortunate that your knowledge of Northern Ghana is limited to fighting over birds. It is most worrying, that you do not know the difference between northern region and Wa in the Upper West Region. Stop being a stereotype.

    EVEN THE THERMOPLASTIC LINE MARK ON THE AIRSTRIP IS FAST DISAPPEARING, SO IS THIS A REHABILITATED OR NEW AIRPORT?

    President Kuffour built the Tamale Teaching Hospital and President Attah Mills commissioned it

  • TRUTH 7 years ago

    It's a big lie. The Tamale Teaching Hospital is a state
    run referral hospital in the city of Tamale .
    It was originally commissioned in 1974 as a
    Regional Hospital.

    The air strip not airport was only renovated. The arrival/departure building was renovated but not built as the suggested. The building was for Centre for National Culture and there have been moved to Ministries.

  • Miller 7 years ago

    When did building belong to Centre for national culture? In the early 2000s, the airstrip was functional and some small aircrafts landed there successfully.

    Sullemana Dramani, there's nothing like "round way"in the aviation industry. Instead, we have "run -way "in aviation vocabulary. Where did you have your WASCE in English? ?
