President Akufo-Addo has announced that the Kumasi airport will officially be named after Nana Agyeman Prempeh I. He also disclosed that the recently inaugurated Tamale airport will be renamed asYakubu Tali International Airport.
He made these revelation when he was delivering the State of the Nation Address (SONA) at Parliament today, February 27, 2024.
Delivering his address before the floor of Parliament, he said, “I have one more scheduled date with the House, when I would be here to give an accounting of my time in office. By that time, my successor would have been elected, and we would be getting ready for the swearing-in ceremony. The elections will be held peacefully, and the candidate with credibility to take us on to a higher level will win. Let me wish all of us well in the elections on 7th December”.
“Before then, there a number of important tasks lie ahead of us, one of which will be commissioning the Nana Agyeman Prempeh I International Airport in Kumasi, and naming the recently commissioned airport in Tamale the Yakubu Tali International Airport,” he remarked.
In fulfillment with Article 67 of the 1992 Constitution, which states that the President shall deliver a message on the State of the Nation to Parliament at the start of each session and before the dissolution of Parliament, this will be President Akufo-Addo’s penultimate address to Parliament.
