  "account": "The National Road Safety Authority (NRSA) in the Bono Region has recently commended the quality of work on the Sunyani-Inner Ring Road Project, which is financed by the government's \"Big Push\" Road Infrastructure programme. Public Relations Officer Mr. Gabriel Kwame Okyere expressed satisfaction with the construction of the 9.2-kilometre road, which has connected the Sunyani Technical University. However, he raised concerns over tricycle riders speeding on the newly asphalted road.\n\nMr. Okyere stated that the NRSA has been receiving numerous complaints about reckless riding by tricycle riders on the road, despite its completion. He further noted that the office continues to receive reports of such reckless behaviour, prompting his worries. Despite the negative aspects, he acknowledged the positive impact of the \"Big Push\" programme, stating that the inner ring road project has opened the Sunyani Municipality up for economic growth. Small-scale businesses have started springing up along the road, providing economic opportunities for locals.\n\nKofi Kamkam, the site engineer of Kofi Job Construction Limited, also provided an update on the project's progress. He confirmed that 2.5 kilometres of the road project had been asphalted for use, and assured that the entire project would be completed within the two-year timeframe stipulated for the initiative.",
