The college was started by the NDC government in 2011 but was left unfinished after Mahama left office. The college is meant to train 300 students in sustainable fishing and fish farming. The facility includes classrooms, the principal’s house, fish ponds, boreholes, and a water pumping station.

“This is why we have committed to completing all abandoned projects, regardless of which government started them,” Mahama stated. “We will secure funds for the completion, and once phase one is done, we will move to phase two.”
