Abla Dzifa Gomashie, Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts Minister said the restoration and preservation work is slated for six selected colonial-era slave forts and castles.
The goal is said to improve the structural integrity and historical presentation of vital trans-Atlantic slave trade landmark capacity building including professional climate-resilient conservation training for local Ghanaian heritage experts.
