Describing it as a "happy day for him", President Akufo-Addo stated that Ningo-Prampram is potentially one of the most important tourist destinations in Ghana, adding that it cannot be a proper tourist area if nothing is done about the erosion.
In addition to the project protecting lives and property from destruction by tidal waves, the President indicated that the project will involve the reclamation of land, and the establishment of a mini-harbor to bring value to the project.
