  "summary": "President John Dramani Mahama commended Roads and Highways Minister Governs Kwame Agbodza for his efforts in keeping contractors on track within the government's Big Push infrastructure programme. During an inspection of the Ntotroso Bridge in the Ahafo Region, Mahama expressed confidence that most contracts awarded under the programme by the end of 2025 would be completed by the end of 2027, allowing Ghanaians to experience the benefits of the infrastructure investment. Mahama also praised Newmont, a mining giant, for its collaboration with the government on infrastructure development, urging other major mining companies and corporate institutions to adopt similar partnerships. He suggested that such collaborations could involve shared project costs and corporate social responsibility initiatives directed at host communities, with the aim of ensuring that economic activities and resources generated by large companies contribute to improving the lives of people in those areas.",
