The Mayor of Cape Coast, Hon. George Justice Arthur, has shared the vision to rehabilitate certain facilities in the metropolis which possesses Ghana's historic antecedents but has long been forgotten and left to rot.

These abandoned, yet historic tourist facilities the Cape Coast Mayor intends to give a facelift to includes, the place which saw the signing of the Bond of 1844, the Military Cemetery and Fort Williams, widely known among indigenes of CapeĀ  Coast as 'light house.'

The facelift underscore the Mayor's vision and commitment to the development of the city, as stipulated in his 8-year development plan for Cape Coast.

Hon. George Justice Arthur made this assertion in an event which witnessed the metro assembly's inauguration of the second cohorts of tourism, development and sanitation ambassadors, enacted to collectively seek to a hygienic and healthier environment, promote tourism and advocate for the development of Cape Coast through their own small ways.

The Cape Coast Mayor speaking at the event observed that since the metropolis has set upon itself to secure a death free in green Cape Coast, their appointment as ambassadors should see to the facilitation of this vision to enhance the Metro's effort to revamp tourism within the ancient capital.

He further stressed that their appointment signifies that the metro assembly has bestowed on them some level of authority which beholds them not relent but take the necessary action on matters which bothers on sanitation, tourism and development to help drive change in the lives of indigenes in Cape Coast.

Prophet Emmanuel Abaiku Aggrey, Dean of the Ambassadors and the General Overseer of Moulders Chapel International in an interaction with Sompa TV's Eric Annan expressed gratitude to the Cape Coast Metropolitan Assembly on the honour of nominating him to lead the over 50 sanitation, development and tourism ambassadors as their Dean.

He admonished to give his all to see to the development of Cape Coast so far as tourism, development and sanitation is concern, having been born and nurtured in Cape Coast, as he pledged to donate 50 dustbins to the assembly to help in the fight against filth and littering.

The Dean of the Ambassadors again charged his colleagues to seize the opportunity given them to give their all to the development of Cape Coast, since lot of individuals have come to offer their bit to pave the way for them, thus the need for them to also leave a mark in the role entrusted unto them by the Cape Coast metropolis.
