New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer aspirant, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, has said he will convert 90 per cent of the Tamale Airport into a cargo terminal to facilitate the export of vegetables and other agricultural produce to Europe if elected president in 2028.
Mr Agyapong made the pledge during his campaign tour of the Northern Region, outlining his vision to transform the country’s agriculture sector into a major driver of economic growth and job creation.
He revealed that the conversion of the Tamale Airport would be among his first actions as president, adding that the initiative would enhance Ghana’s export capacity and open new markets for local farmers.
"When I become President, I’ll move the Ministry of Agriculture to Tamale and convert 90% of the Tamale Airport into a cargo terminal to export vegetables to Europe."
Mr Agyapong explained that his plan is part of a broader strategy to decentralise government ministries, improve regional development, and strengthen the country’s agricultural value chain.
The president hopeful also said "We’ll build fertilizer plants, mechanize farms and create jobs, not propaganda."
He emphasised that his leadership would be business-oriented, focused on creating opportunities that empower Ghanaians and place the economy on a path of productivity and prosperity.
"Let’s liberate ourselves and vote for business-minded leadership that puts money in your pocket."
