President John Dramani Mahama has assured residents of the Upper East Region that the construction of the much-anticipated Upper East Regional Airport will be completed within 24 months.
The President gave the assurance on Thursday, August 13, 2026, when he inspected the site earmarked for the airport project.
President Mahama said the project is currently progressing through the procurement process and expressed optimism that construction will commence before the end of the year.
The president said that the Upper East airport forms part of the government’s broader plan to expand and improve airport infrastructure across the country, with new airports also planned for Wa and Sunyani.
Mahama further disclosed that although the official completion period given to the contractors is 24 months, they have indicated that the project could be delivered ahead of schedule.
