The Boankra Integrated Logistics Terminal (BILT), also known as the Boankra Inland Port project in the Ejisu Municipality, Ashanti Region, will be completed and handed over to the government in November 2024.

This announcement was made by Mr. Isaac Afum, the Chief Executive Officer of Ashanti Ports Services Limited (APSL) and the project's concessionaire.

During a visit to the project site, Mr. Afum expressed satisfaction with the progress, stating that the Ghanaian contractor, Justmoh Construction Limited, is on track to meet the deadline. About 80% of the filling work in the terminal area has been completed.

Once finished, the Boankra Inland Port will feature an inland clearance depot, customs bonded and unbonded estates, commercial areas, vehicle parking, light industrial areas, and an administration block complex.

The project aims to provide services to importers, exporters, and facilitate efficient transit traffic to and from neighboring landlocked countries such as Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger.

Mr. Afum emphasized that the completion of the project will not only enhance business opportunities in the region but also generate employment for the youth, both directly and indirectly. He expressed gratitude to President Akufo-Addo for supporting and entrusting a local concessionaire with the development of the Boankra Inland Port.
