On 1 December 2015, WAGL signed a consultancy service agreement with Siport XXI in relation to the construction of an FRSU Terminal at the port of Tema, and on 10 December 2015, the cabinet considered the approval of the GSA, endorsing the Executive approval granted earlier and requesting some revisions to the GSA.
