Mr. Mahama says he will begin a feasibility study for the construction of the new city.
According to him, the move is to create a new growth pole and generate thousands of jobs during the construction phase and post construction.
He disclosed that the future city could span three regions namely Greater Accra, Volta, and Eastern.
