President John Dramani Mahama has announced plans to confer the Order of the Volta on the 48 Engineer Regiment of the Ghana Armed Forces for completing the clearing of the right-of-way for the Accra-Kumasi Expressway ahead of schedule.
President John Dramani Mahama has announced that the 48 Engineer Regiment of the Ghana Armed Forces will receive the prestigious Order of the Volta for their exceptional work in clearing the right-of-way for the Accra-Kumasi Expressway. This achievement was accomplished ahead of schedule, with the Regiment completing 175.6 kilometres of the route in just 19 weeks, surpassing the 20-week allocation for the task.
The President made this announcement on September 14 when the armed forces officially handed over the cleared route to the government at Kwaso in the Ashanti Region. Mahama expressed his satisfaction, stating that the Regiment had completed the mission one week ahead of schedule. The cleared route stretches from Ablekuma in the Greater Accra Region to Sewua in the Ashanti Region, traversing through forests and across rivers and streams.
The Regiment will be honored at the next national honors ceremony, which is expected to coincide with Ghana’s 70th Independence anniversary celebrations. President Mahama has instructed that the Regiment will receive the Order of the Companion of the Volta during this ceremony.
