"Thanks to all people's hard work, we have completed the construction of the dock, signifying that 88 percent of the project has been completed. The port project is expected to be handed over to Ghana in June, and will greatly improve local fishermen's operating conditions and boost the country's fishing industry and regional economic development. It will also serve as a bridge of friendship between the two peoples."

The Chinese-aided project commenced construction in 2020.
