President visits sewage treatment plant made with Hungarian tech in Kumasi
President János Áder visited a sewage treatment plant built with Hungarian technology in Kumasi, Ghana’s second largest city, on Saturday.
The plant, built one and a half years ago amidst difficult circumstances posed by the pandemic, has capacity to treat the sewage of households with two million people, Áder said after viewing the facility.
He said clean water is essential for further development in Africa including Ghana.
