A Deputy Minister for Trades and Industry Carlos Ahenkorah has lamented the state of deterioration of the Accra International Trade Fair Center.
The once viable center of trade, a hub for business, fun and other social activities has been left to rot due to decades of poor maintenance.
According to the Minister, the company has been reeling under huge judgment debts of more than two million cedis with many properties taken over by debtors.
