President Mahama arrives in Ethiopia; joins Prime Minister to inaugurate historic Megech Irrigation Project

Share on Twitter President John Dramani Mahama arrived in the historic city of Gondar, Ethiopia, on Friday for an official visit at the invitation of Ethiopian Prime Minister H.E. Dr Abiy Ahmed Ali.

The visit comes ahead of the 12th Tana High-Level Forum on Security in Africa, which will be held in Bahir Dar.

Shortly after arriving at Gondar Airport, President Mahama joined the Prime Minister to inaugurate the Megech Irrigation Development Project, a major dam and reservoir infrastructure project designed to transform agriculture and water supply in the region.

The ambitious project, which began 18 years ago, stalled until Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali revived it three years ago and oversaw its completion.

Spanning 870 hectares and with a storage capacity of 185 million cubic metres, the Megech Dam is expected to have a significant socio-economic impact. It will support the irrigation of 17,000 hectares of agricultural land, significantly boosting food security and agricultural productivity.

In addition, the facility will provide a reliable supply of clean, potable water to the city of Gondar and surrounding satellite towns.

President Mahama commended the Government and people of Ethiopia for their resilience and dedication in delivering a transformative project that will serve generations to come.

President Mahama will travel to Bahir Dar on Saturday to chair the 12th Tana High-Level Forum, where African leaders, policymakers and security experts will discuss pressing peace, governance and security challenges across the continent.
