“We are going to build a new harbour and a new airport in Cape Coast. It is very critical…that the central region gets it own airport,” Dr Bawumia said at the manifesto launch of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) at the University of Cape Coast on Saturday August 22, 2020.

Promises fulfilled 

He also said that the NPP government has fulfilled 80 percent of promises made during the electioneering period, stressing that they have over 300 achievements since they assumed power in 2017.

“We have achieved 80% of all our promises and we have performed much, much better.”

Tertiary students will be able to access Student Loans without the need for a guarantor with beneficiaries given a gap year after National Service Scheme ( NSS) before they are required to pay back the loans, he added.
