Bono East Minister inspects ‘Big Push’ roads; contractor on Tankor-Fiema-Busunya road ahead of schedule

Bono East Regional Minister Francis Owusu Antwi visited key road construction sites in Nkoranza North District as part of the government's Big Push policy, accompanied by RCC officials. The Minister was particularly impressed with the progress on the 14-kilometre Tankor-Fiema-Busunya road, where the contractor has completed more than half of the work, far exceeding the expected 29 per cent completion.

Antwi praised the contractor for maintaining a strong workforce and sufficient machinery, emphasizing that speed is crucial in delivering projects on time, as the residents of Nkoranza North deserve improved infrastructure. He highlighted the road network's socio-economic importance, noting that it will enhance healthcare access, facilitate job creation, and improve market access, especially considering the location of the Buaben Fiema Monkey Sanctuary.

The Minister stressed that a well-developed road network would significantly boost tourism in the region. District Chief Executive Effah Patrick explained that the 74-kilometre road construction would connect communities and provide farmers with easier access to markets across the country, ultimately transforming their lives. Stephen Quainoo, the Regional Feeder Roads Manager, commended the contractor for surpassing the schedule on the Tankor-Fiema-Busunya road.
