🚆 Ghana’s New Poland Trains: Tema–Mpakadan Railway Launch 2025 | Cost, Criticisms & Big Push Vision

Описание: Ghana’s railway dream is finally here! 🚆 On October 1, 2025, the Tema–Mpakadan Railway Line officially begins full commercial operations. Funded by the India Exim Bank ($447M) and built by Afcons Infrastructure, this 97.7 km standard gauge line connects Tema Port to Mpakadan near the Volta Lake—linking Ghana’s coast to inland trade routes.

But this project hasn’t come without controversy. The new Polish trains from Pesa have been heavily criticized as too short, too expensive, and incomplete—with promised coaches never arriving. Add to that the April 2024 test accident, vandalism of track components, and years of delays, and the railway has been both celebrated and attacked.

Under the NPP government led by Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, the project was launched. Now, under the NDC and John Dramani Mahama, the line is part of the Big Push Project and the ambitious 24-Hour Economy Vision—with plans to expand railways nationwide and make Ghana a logistics hub for West Africa.

👉 In this video, we uncover:
✅ The cost, history, and purpose of the Tema–Mpakadan Railway
✅ Why Ghana needed the new Polish trains
✅ The criticisms: “too short, too expensive, missing coaches”
✅ The accident during testing & vandalism challenges
✅ How Mahama plans to revive railways under the Big Push & 24-Hour Economy

📌 Ghana’s future is on the rails. Will this project transform the nation, or remain a half-finished promise? Watch now and decide.
