Mahama shows Adusei the exit after sitting at 'empty' Keta Port for 5 years as director

President John Dramani Mahama has relieved Dr. Alexander Adusei of his duties as Director of the Keta Port, a project that has seen minimal progress since its announcement.
Dr. Adusei was appointed in 2019 under former President Nana Akufo-Addo’s administration to oversee the development of the port in the Volta Region.
However, nearly six years later, the project remains stalled, raising concerns among stakeholders.
While no official reason has been given for his dismissal, many believe it is tied to the lack of progress on the much-anticipated port.
The Akufo-Addo government formally designated Keta as the site for the port in 2018 through an Executive Instrument, placing the Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority (GPHA) in charge of its development.
Despite this, years have passed with little visible progress, frustrating residents and industry players.
During the 2024 election campaign, President Mahama strongly criticized the previous administration, describing the stalled project as a missed opportunity.
He lamented that despite eight years, “not even a single structure had been constructed for the port.”
In August 2024, six private investors expressed interest in partnering with the government to develop the port.
However, no concrete agreements have been finalized.
President Mahama is expected to appoint a new director soon to revive the project and accelerate its long-overdue development
