  "account": "Ghana's Minister for Roads and Highways, Governs Kwame Agbodza, has commended Astee Company Limited and P&W Ghanem Limited for their quality work on Big Push road projects in the Upper West Region. The Minister's two-day inspection of the projects highlighted the firm's potential to contribute to the future of Ghana's road construction industry. Astee Company Limited is constructing the 37-kilometer Wa-Bulenga-Yaanyuoyiri road, which was previously considered a dangerous route. The Minister praised Astee for being a young contractor from the area, participating in the President's road intervention. The road's completion is expected ahead of schedule, with 27 percent of the project already completed. Similarly, P&W Ghanem Limited completed the first seal on the Hain to Nandawala stretch, with no bad spots reported. The Minister praised P&W Ghanem, describing the company as one of Ghana's leading indigenous contractors. The completed roads will open up three or four paramountcies and significantly improve access to the area for the chiefs and people of Bulenga.",
