The Minister for Transport, Joseph Bukari Nipke, has announced plans to integrate Ghana’s four main modes of transport — air, rail, road, and inland water — to make travel more seamless and efficient for citizens.
Speaking on the Citi Breakfast Show on Thursday, October 2, 2025, Mr. Nipke said the government’s vision is to build a unified transport system that allows travellers to conveniently switch between different modes depending on their needs.
“Our vision is how we can integrate the four modes of transport to make travel easier or seamless for people. When you take the aviation sector, although people say it is expensive, it is the fastest, depending on where you want to go and what you want to do,” he explained.
Improving Rail and Water Transport
The minister emphasised that beyond aviation, government is prioritising investments in railway development and inland water transport services to complement the existing road network.
“We are looking at how to improve on the rest of the modes of transport—railway, and also the inland water transport services. That will integrate the transport system, so you can use one to a point and continue with the other options,” he said.
Expected Impact
The integrated system is expected to:
- Ease mobility across regions,
- Reduce travel times,
- Expand accessibility for remote communities, and
- Leverage the strengths of each mode of transport to boost efficiency.
The initiative forms part of government’s broader strategy to modernise Ghana’s transport sector and strengthen its role in driving economic growth.
