Felix Kwakye Ofosu, the minister of State for Government Communication has revealed that taxpayers’ money will not be used in the construction of the Hajj Village project.
According to Felix Kwakye Ofosu, not a pesewa of taxpayers’ money will be involved in the Hajj Village.
His comments after recent misconceptions regarding the funding and purpose of the Hajj Village project.
Many Ghanaians have compared the project to former President Akufo-Addo’s infamous National Cathedral project.
In a post on his official X page, Felix Kwakye Ofosu revealed that the Hajj Village is an airport terminal building which is designed to facilitate the check-in and processing of pilgrims embarking on the annual Hajj pilgrimage.
He wrote on X, “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”, he added.
Felix Kwaye Ofosu in another post descended heavily on NPP trying to claim the Hajj Village as their project.
He further wrote, Here is the NPP claiming only last week, to have started the Hajj Village. Today, they say they are angry because the same Hajj Village is being built”.
“The Ghana Airport Company develops and manages Air Travel facilities for profit. The Hajj Village is one such facility”, his post added.
Meanwhile, President John Dramani Mahama has cut sod for the construction of a new Hajj Village.
The landmark project aimed at improving facilities for Ghanaian pilgrims embarking on the annual Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca.
A vision that began under the late President John Evans Atta Mills. The initiative continues the commitment of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to enhancing the welfare of Muslim pilgrims.
