Alhaji Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, Vice President and NPP Presidential Candidate for Election 2024 commissioned the business resource centre, funded by the World Bank. 

The construction of the centre was commenced in May, 2021 and completed in 2023. 

The centre has 11 guest rooms, 15 offices, 300 seat meeting spaces, and a restaurant. 

The Vice President took advantage of his presence at the commissioning to clarify some of his policy plans and asked the people to vote for not just him as president, but also the NPP’s parliamentary candidates.  

He said: “You see this beautiful edifice right here, it was under the Akuffo Addo- Bawumia led administration that made it possible for it to be put up and this and other many more developmental initiatives awaits you if you vote for me as your president and Simon Kweku Tetteh as your M.P”

He also highlighted the need for updates to the National Service Programme, which has been a cornerstone of Ghana's human resource development.
