President John Dramani Mahama has directed the Fisheries Minister, Emelia Arthur, to collaborate with the Finance Minister to secure funding for the completion of the long-abandoned Anomabu Fisheries College in the Central Region.
The project, initiated by the NDC government in 2011, was left incomplete after Mahama exited office.
The college, located in Anomabu, features lecture theatres, a principal’s bungalow, fish ponds, boreholes, and a water pumping station. Designed to accommodate 300 students, it aims to promote sustainable fishing practices and aquaculture education.
During his Thank You tour of the Central Region on Thursday, February 6, Mahama stressed the importance of completing the facility, noting that only furniture, teaching materials, and campus roadwork remain before students can begin their studies.
“This is why we promised to complete all abandoned projects, whether started by the NPP or the NDC,” Mahama stated.
“We will secure the necessary funds to finish it. The project is near completion—only chairs, tables, beds, and some campus roads remain to be done for the first phase. Fortunately, every government prepares a new budget, and the Finance Minister will present ours in Parliament this March.
“I have instructed the Fisheries Minister to take immediate action and work with the Finance Minister to allocate the required funds. Once we complete phase one, we will move on to phase two,” he added.
