In July, the Government disbursed a substantial sum of GH¢23.1 billion to address road contractors' arrears and finance initiatives under the Big Push infrastructure program, stated Mr Kwami Governs Agbodza, the Minister of Roads and Highways. During President John Dramani Mahama's visit to inspect the Navrongo-Chuchuliga-Tumu Road project, Agbodza disclosed that the money had been allocated, with a significant portion being arrears, making it the largest payment of such nature in Ghana's history.
The Minister emphasized that President Mahama was not only continuing the projects he had inherited but also initiating new ones. In the Upper East Region, numerous road issues require attention, which the government is addressing in every constituency and district. Agbodza expressed optimism that the Contractor, MyTurn, would complete the Navrongo-Chuchuliga-Tumu Road ahead of schedule.
This road connects Bolgatanga, the capital of the Upper East Region, to Wa, the capital of the Upper West Region.
