Prez Mahama Dismisses Director of Unbuilt Keta Port

President John Dramani Mahama has removed Dr. Alexander Adusei from his position as Director of the Keta Port— a project that has remained stagnant since its announcement.

Dr. Adusei was appointed in 2019 under former President Nana Akufo-Addo’s administration to oversee the port’s development in the Volta Region.

Although no official reason has been provided for his dismissal, speculation suggests that the project’s failure to materialize played a key role in the decision.

In 2018, the Akufo-Addo administration designated Keta as the official site for the port through an Executive Instrument, assigning the Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority (GPHA) to lead its development.

Despite this, the project has yet to commence, causing frustration among residents and stakeholders in the Volta Region.

During the 2024 election campaign, Mahama criticized the previous administration for failing to deliver on the project, stating that after eight years, no visible progress had been made.

In August 2024, six private investors showed interest in collaborating with the government to develop the port, but no concrete agreements have been reached.
