Government is set to introduce an eGate system to help improve security at Ghana’s only international airport, the Kotoka International Airport (KIA).
The project is part of President John Dramani Mahama’s e-Immigration initiative and is aimed at ensuring security and efficiency at the country’s entry points.
The e-Immigration project affects the Aflao, Paga and Elubo borders as well as KIA.
10 eGates will be installed at the airport to help beef up security and ease passenger transit. This should reduce congestion at the airport, which saw 2.5 million passengers passing through in 2014, as opposed to 1.3 million in 2009.
Meetings are currently ongoing between the government and the Ghana Airport Company on the project however Government is optimistic that the eGate security system will be installed at KIA within the next two months.
