The Minister informed the Board that the project concept had been developed, the project master plan was approved, and a land title was also secured.

Additionally, an infrastructure developer has also been procured, and the site has been cleared in readiness for the redevelopment.

It will attract global trade and investment into the country and position Ghana as a regional trade fair hub. The Trade Fair will also generate additional tax revenue from businesses and generate an estimated 10,000 jobs from planning, construction, and post-construction management.

Members of the Board include the Chief of La, the Chief Executive of the Company (Dr. Agnes Adu), and Madam Gloria Annoh-Wiafe. The others are Mr. Tobby Amankwah, Hon Elvis Morris Donkor, Mrs. Ruth O. Addison, Madam Cecilia Gambrah and Mr. Hubert Sevor
