President of the Ghana Institution of Engineers, Leslie Alex Aryeh, says the scrapping of the Aviation Ministry by President Akufo Addo will have some dire financial and investment consequences for the country’s aviation industry.
On January 21, the President explained that some of the special-purpose ministries under his first term – including the Aviation Ministry have been realigned because they have achieved the purposes for which they were created.
But speaking to my colleague, Charles Ayitey, Ing. Alex Leslie Aryeh argued that the realignment of the Aviation Ministry into the Ministry of Transport could be counterproductive to the growth of the aviation industry in Ghana.
