The President highlighted Dame's crucial role in completing this long-delayed project, which had been stalled for over two decades since it was initiated during John Kufuor's administration.
Despite numerous challenges, Dame's leadership and vision drove the project's completion, reflecting the government's commitment to improving Ghana's legal infrastructure.
