On Thursday, November 13, 2025, President John Dramani Mahama commissioned Phases 1 and 2 of the Tema Port Expansion Project.
The $1.5 billion project, implemented through a public-private partnership with Meridian Port Services (MPS), the Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority (GPHA), APM Terminals, and Africa Global Logistics (AGL), is part of the NDC government’s agenda to boost the country’s trade and logistics industry.
Ibrahim Mahama and other top dignitaries, including the NDC National Chairman and Board Chair of the Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority, Johnson Asiedu Nketia, were present at the project commissioning ceremony.
Special aide to President Mahama, Joyce Bawah Mogtari, attended the grand event in Tema.

Ibrahim Mahama hilariously questions young lady
