Inaugurating the two boards in Accra yesterday, Ms Attivor appealed to the members to support the President's vision by positioning the transport sector in a manner that would transform the country into a middle-income status.

She said the vision of the ministry was to create an integrated, cost-effective, safe, secure and sustainable transportation system responsible to the needs of society.

 
Aviation  sector
The minister observed that the aviation sector had, in the last couple of years, experienced tremendous growth and urged the boards to ensure that the trend was sustained for the country to enjoy the needed economic growth.

Ms Attivor said as part of efforts to develop aviation infrastructure, plans were underway to expand the Kotoka International Airport (KIA) terminal building and instal aerobridges to improve delivery of services at the airport, as well as other projects in the regions.

Air Vice-Marshall Dovlo, on behalf of the board members, thanked the President for reposing trust and confidence in them and pledged that they would work hard to help realise the government's vision for the transport sector.
