The Dome`s Come Back Undecided

A close source to the management of the Dome located at the Accra International Conference Center, has told Flex newspaper that the Dome is gone forever.

According to our source, management of the Dome shall not bring back the Dome because it does not generate profit; contrary to the general believe that it does. Also, they shall not bring the Dome back because maintaining it comes with a huge cost compared to the revenue it generates; thereby making it more of a liability than a viable asset.

Our source stated “expect the Dome no more!” Though our source sounded very sure of his information, Flex newspaper contacted the Project Manager of the Dome, Mr. Fennec Otchere for clarity. “Well, please don't give such rumours attention. Whether the Dome will come back or not, let's wait and see”.
   

“If it will come back, time will tell, if not, time will tell. I cannot give you any exact clarity on this story.  Remember I work in a corporate body so I can't just give you my opinion. At the right time, we shall release a press statement concerning the Dome.”
  

After some months of closing down the Dome, the crew of GH One TV's 'The Pundit' went to the Dome with their cameras to film the supposed new state of the Dome. Unfortunately, absolutely no repair works had been done to the building.
   

They did not find workers on site. Their footage revealed the old Dome we've all visited all these years. They did not have the privilege of speaking with any management member as at the time they went and left the place.
  

Flex newspaper went to the Dome in December 2013 to also inspect the place. After our inspection of the entire place, it was obvious no repair works had been done to the Dome. We could not find any management member to speak to as well.
 

“The Dome was closed down for renovation for improved sitting style, sound system and security detail. The venue should be ready by December 2013” said Mr. Fennec Otchere on Peace FM's Entertainment Review show one Saturday last year.
  

The closure of the Dome was announced some few days after The Weekend Globe newspaper reported of a looming disaster of the Dome if its conditions weren't appraised for onward renovation. Mr. Otchere however repudiated remarks that sought to create the impression that their closure of the Dome was precipitated by the said newspaper's report.
  

The Dome was built temporarily for the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD XII) in 2008. It was supposed to have been demolished after the conference but some private individuals showed interest in its management. We should all wait and see if it will come back or not, as advised by Mr. Fennec Otchere.                                                                                                                                                                          By Elvis Rancey Baidoo
