President John Dramani Mahama has clarified that the Hajj Village, currently being built, will not be limited to Mecca-bound pilgrims. Instead, it will function as a vital transit facility for all passengers passing through Kotoka International Airport.
Amid debates on the project’s relevance during economic challenges, Mahama stressed that the facility will offer crucial amenities for every traveler, improving the overall airport experience.
In addressing concerns about the project’s timing and necessity, the President emphasized that the Hajj Village aims to serve both pilgrims and the general public.
“This project is in line with our goal of ensuring fairness in national policies, providing an inclusive space where all citizens, regardless of financial status, can fulfill their spiritual obligations,” Mahama stated.
He further highlighted that the Ghana Airports Company, under the Reset Agenda, is constructing a new transit terminal that will serve as the Hajj Village during the pilgrimage season and as a comfortable transit center for all passengers at Kotoka International Airport year-round.
