Enchi–Elubo road: Report to Ministry on Friday or lose your contract over slow progress - Agbodza tells contractor

Roads and Highways Minister, Kwame Agbodza has threatened to revoke the contract of Chinese construction firm, Top International Engineering due to slow progress on the 71.25-kilometre Enchi–Elubo Road project in the Western North Region. After inspecting the road and consulting with local residents, the Minister expressed dissatisfaction with the state of the project and the contractor's failure to appear for a meeting.

Top International Engineering has received GH¢82 million for the project but has not demonstrated sufficient commitment. The Minister warned that the company must send its directors and key officials to the Ministry on Friday, September 18, or the contract could be terminated. Agbodza criticized the poor progress and the lack of essential infrastructure, such as drainage works, on the route.

The project has been under the company's control since 2016 or earlier, making a contract change a possibility if the contractor fails to improve.
