Business News of Friday, 10 April 2026Source: www.ghanaweb.comThe President of the Western Regional House of Chiefs who doubles as the Paramount Chief of the Essikado Traditional Area, Nana Kobina Nketsia V, has made a passionate appeal to President John Dramani Mahama to prioritize and successfully deliver the transformative Petroleum Hub project. He described the Petroleum Hub project as the most significant and enduring legacy President Mahama's government could bequeath to the nation. He expressed that despite repeated government assurances that the Petroleum Hub project which is expected to generate over 780,000 jobs when completed would be developed, persistent delays have fueled increasing pessimism among traditional leaders and residents. The Paramount Chief stated that the region is beginning to doubt whether the initiative, which was vigorously promoted as a catalyst to transform the Western Region into a major industrial enclave, will ever materialize. The Petroleum Hub must not be seen as a project for the Western Region alone, it is for Ghana and for Africa,” he added with passion.
