President John Dramani Mahama is expected to cut sod in the coming weeks for the construction of a new Accra Convention Centre at the Trade Fair Centre.

The project, being undertaken as a major investment by the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT), is expected to provide modern facilities for international conferences, high-level meetings and other major events.

The proposed convention centre will cover an estimated 81,422 square metres and feature a 3,000-capacity main conference hall, a Presidential Hall for high-level engagements and four large auditoriums.

It will also include other modern facilities designed to enhance Ghana’s capacity to host large-scale international events.

Minister of State for Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, announced the development in a post on X on Wednesday, October 7, 2026.

The facility is expected to complement existing infrastructure at the Trade Fair Centre while strengthening Ghana’s position as a destination for major international conferences and events.

Further details on the construction schedule, project components and the date for the sod-cutting ceremony are expected to be announced as preparations advance.
