The President of Ghana, Nana Akufo-Addo, stated that phase one of this new hospital project would involve the construction of a two hundred and eighty-five (285) bed facility. When finished, it will provide the necessary teaching and learning facilities and put the Eastern Region on the right side of our nation's healthcare map.
However, former President John Mahama has heavily criticised the Agenda 111 projects by the current administration. He made a post on his Facebook page on January 15, 2023, and said:
The ‘Agenda 111’ hospitals promise is in its 4th year, yet not a single hospital has been completed to support quality health care delivery. This is contrary to the lofty promise made in 2020. The NPP must learn to take Ghanaians serious. Enough of the slogans

The project, which is expected to be fully completed by 2023, would be done in phases. The first phase of the project would involve the construction of the Convention Centre and exhibition halls for the World Economic Forum. Phase 2 of the project will involve the construction of facilities such as five-star hotels, upscale malls, and other residential and commercial developments.

The redevelopment of the 100-year-old Takoradi Market Circle is expected to be completed by 2023. The authorities made the decision to demolish and reconstruct the market because of its vulnerability.
The old market was both congested and dangerous due to the numerous improvised combustible materials, illegal electrical connections, and traders crowding the area. According to plans, the new market would contain 2,408 businesses and 33 restaurants among others.
According to President Akufo-Addo, the market would reorganise all the market traders, legalize the informal economy of the central market, increase safety and security, and generate 400 to 500 direct employment and 1,000 to 2,500 indirect jobs.

The Ghana government has allocated GH¢80 million in the 2023 budget for the construction of the controversial National Cathedral estimated to cost about $300 million when completed.
The project is expected to accommodate a number of churches, a baptistery, a 5000-seat two-level auditorium, a large central hall, a music school, a choir rehearsal, an art gallery, a store, and multi-use spaces.
Additionally, it will serve as the location of Ghana's first Bible Museum and Documentation Center, which is committed to Christianity and nation-building. President Nana Akufo-Addo is bent on seeing the project to completion, much to the displeasure of the populace.
