The issue of abandoned projects is one of the challenges facing the development of Ghana as a country.
Often, projects initiated by the previous government, costing the nation millions of borrowed funds and accumulating significant interest, contribute to the country’s debt when left unfinished by new governments.
One such project that has recently come to light is the Anomabo Fisheries College, which was initiated by the Professor John Evans Atta Mills administration in 2011 and nearly completed by the John Dramani Mahama government.
The college, originally set to admit students in 2017, has now been left to decay despite several promises by the Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo government to make it operational.
The Public Accounts Committee of Parliament, after inspecting the project in January 2024, reported that the hostel and 18-unit classroom block facilities lacked beds and study desks.
The classroom block and hostel facility showed structural defects, with air-conditioning units at the administrative block installed but left unsecured at the site.
Visuals of the Anomabo Fisheries College shared by Accra-based Onua TV on September 17, 2024, confirmed the committee’s report.
The classroom blocks, administration blocks, ponds, and other structures of the college appeared overgrown with vegetation.
The air-conditioning units, transformers, and other equipment were also left exposed to the elements.
