Kumasi, Tamale Airports to be renamed – Akufo-Addo

The Tamale and Kumasi International Airports will have new names, according to President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s announcement.

He announced that the recently inaugurated Tamale airport will be known as the Yakubu Tali International Airport, and that the Kumasi International Airport will be renamed Nana Agyeman Prempeh I Airport.

He made this announcement during his State of the Nation address on Tuesday, February 27.

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.

“Mr. Speaker, we stumbled, but we are rising again. We were bruised, but we are healing. We have recovered our footing. We have dusted ourselves off, and now we face tomorrow with confidence. Every day we pray and hope that adversity may spare our families, our communities and our dear nation. But should we be confronted by misfortune; we must face it like people with a proud history who fight and do not flee. Yenim ko; yen nim adwane. That is the Ghanaian spirit. That is our armour and our shield. This is our ethos.”
