Felix Kwakye Ofosu,

President John Dramani Mahama officially broke ground for the construction of the new Hajj Village on February 28, marking a significant milestone in the project’s development.

The facility is specifically designed to support Ghanaian Muslims embarking on the sacred pilgrimage to Mecca.

Kwakye Ofosu emphasized that “The Hajj Village is primarily an Airport Terminal Building for check-in and pilgrim facilitation owned and being built by the Ghana Airport Company. Not a pesewa of taxpayers’ money involved.” This statement reaffirms the government’s position on the project’s funding, providing clarity and transparency on the matter.

The construction of the Hajj Village aims to streamline processes, enhance efficiency, and provide a smoother departure experience for pilgrims.

President Mahama has announced plans to airlift 5,000 Ghanaian pilgrims, underscoring the government’s commitment to enhancing the pilgrimage experience.
