Thank you for the correction. Yes 1979 coup collapsed companies like GNTC, SCOA, GB Olivantes etc. Sekondi has now reduced to city of abandoned ware houses. Sekondi is dying and I think government should have plans to rebuild it commercial status of the 60s and 70s.

What is "Nmoasem" about the clear observation being made. You're blind if you don't see or know what's happened and is happening to Sekondi.

I remember once meeting the then Western Regional Minister at his office in Sekondi, when our school (in Takoradi) went on strike and we (prefects) of the school were sent to meet the regional minister.
Takoradi is the business capital while Sekondi is the administrative capital, just like Abuja is the administrative capital of Nigeria while Lagos remains business capital.

Sekondi has always been the capital since oyibo times but the harbour changed the dynamics and virgin lands became scarce so development shifted to Takoradi, anyway

I think you guys are missing a great part of the discussion. Sekondi is still thr administrative capital of thr region despite the relatively poor developmental infrastructure over the decades. This is purely due to the successive government and MPs of the area who have failed to lobby for developments into the community. Since 1992, what significant project has been brought to the city?
Takoradi on the on hand is the commercial capital of the region and has continuously grow and even more since the oil business boom.
Sekondi as I was thought in JSS is the commercial capital. A position Nkrumah honoured the then vibrant city with because of his admiration and respect for Nana Nketsiah I. The then chief of Essikadu. Subsequent government's have ignored the importance of Sekondi. It it time you push your MPs to do more .
