The Majority Leader of Parliament and Board Chairman of the Ghana Airports Company Limited, James Agalga, has outlined plans to address congestion at Terminal Three of the Kotoka International Airport, alongside measures to strengthen security and combat drug-related activities at the Ghana’s airports.
In an interview on the sidelines of the Company’s 20th Anniversary Lecture and Awards Ceremony at Accra, Mr Agalga explained that plans to decongest Terminal Three and expand airport infrastructure would be financed through the Airport Infrastructure Development Charge.

He said “if you have to move from Terminal 3 to Terminal 2 you’ll have to come out and walk on the streets, which is not standard enough so that is the reason for constructing a connecting way between the terminal and very soon you’ll see how beautiful our airport will be.”
He also disclosed that the Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC) is expected to be retooled to enhance its operational capacity in tackling drug-related offences at the airports.
“NACOC is reinstated at our entry ports so NACOC is going make sure nobody is going to penetrate our system and the country will enhance its collaboration with foreign intelligence and security agencies.”
Mr. Agalga stressed the importance of public support for security agencies, noting that the fight against drug-related activities at the airports requires collective responsibility.
The anniversary lecture and awards ceremony, held under the theme, “Legacy of Resilience: Developing Further, Serving Better” brought together key stakeholders in the aviation industry to celebrate the Ghana Airports Company Limited’s two decades of operations and recognise individuals and institutions whose contributions have supported its growth.
