THE Jomoro Municipal Assembly in collaboration with THE Ghana Shippers' Authority inaugurate Elubo Freight Park
in the Western Region, Friday January 28, 2022 at Elubo to end the recurrent transit truck congestion and haphazard parking at the Elubo border.

Built on a two-acre land with a truck capacity of 31, the Elubo Freight Park is expected to make the nation’s western transit corridor attractive to businesses that haul goods to Cote d’Ivoire and beyond.

Initiated and funded by the GSA with support from the Assembly, it has 12 dormitory facilities for drivers and their mates to rest, 40 toilets and bathrooms, laundry, a mosque, and six offices.

The park is part of GSA’s resolve to shoot up Ghana’s transit trade which is estimated to generate GH₵ 134 million annually, in a bid to support economic growth.
The Jomoro Municipal Chief Executive, Louisa Iris Arde, said the park would not only boost economic activities but would enhance road safety and beautify the municipality.

“This terminal project is very critical to the revenue mobilisation drive by the Assembly and in this regard, the Management of the Assembly has carefully constituted the Elubo Articulator Terminal Management committee to ensure the effective management of the terminal.

“The day to day running of the facility will require a multi-sectoral approach and all stakeholders relevant for the effective operationalisation of this facility are urged to give off their best for the achievement of the goals and targets set for the project”, she said.

Speaking at the ceremony, the Board Chairperson for the GSA, Stella Wilson, described the project as evidence of the premium the Authority placed on transit trade and gave the assurance that more efforts would be made to make Ghana a favourable destination to neighbouring landlocked countries.

“There are high expectations that more trade volumes would be moved across the borders of the continent with the introduction of the Africa Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA), hence the timeliness of this all-important Freight and Logistics Park at Elubo,” she said.

She charged the Municipality, to oversee the maintenance of the facility to ensure longevity.

The ceremony was witnessed by stakeholders in the industry including the transit truck drivers who thanked the GSA and the Municipal Assembly for the initiative.
