Mrs Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare, the Minister of Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts has inspected the take-off site for the annual Paragliding Festival to be held from March 25 to March 29.
She expressed satisfaction with the level of preparedness in anticipation of the festival.
“We are all here and we see the turf is ready, more importantly security is also ready, both the police, fire service, immigration officers,” she said.
Mrs Ofosu-Adjare said the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts with the Ghana Tourism Authority, have also put in place all the things that were required to make the event a success.
She said this year's paragliding was expected to be a total package of fun and excitement as there would be provision for other activities for those who could not paraglide.
She said the interesting twist to this year's paragliding was that, there would be the National Dance Company to entertain those, who could not paraglide.
Assistant Superintendent of Police Emmanuel Darkwa Owiredu, the Mpraeso District Police Commander, assured that in the wake of recent possible terrorist attack warnings, his outfit would put in place extra security measures to ensure safety.
The Minister and her entourage later paid a courtesy call on the Chief of Obo, who doubles as the Nifahene of the Kwahu Traditional Area, Osabarima Yeboa Afari Obuagyan II, to congratulate and wish him well as he celebrates 25 years since his enstoolment.
