Accra, July 9, GNA – The Presidential lounge of the Kotoka International Airport (KIA), Accra, has been given fresh paintings in preparations for a two-day state visit of US President Barack Obama to Ghana, from 10 to 11 July.
Large pictures of Ghana’s President John Evans Atta Mills and President Obama have been fixed at vantage points, flags of the two countries mounted at the lounge and many more security lights have been provided.
Pictures of both President Mills and President Obama have been mounted along the main road leading to the KIA and there was road reconstruction within the airport. An immigration official, who remained anonymous, told GNA at the airport that correspondents of foreign media networks have arrived in the country during the week but he could not confirm if that was due to the US President’s visit or not.
President Obama arrives in Ghana with his wife Mrs. Michelle Obama and other US Government officials tomorrow. Whilst in the country, the US President would hold talks with his counterpart, President Mills, and is expected to visit the Cape Coast Castle and engage in other activities. 9 July 09
