The Upper West Region is receiving its fair share of road projects under the Government’s BIg Push infrastructure initiative.

Earlier today, the Minister for Roads and Highways, Hon. Kwame Agbodza, inspected some major road projects in the region and expressed satisfaction with the progress and pace of work.

Some of the projects visited, which are at various stages of completion, include:

- Wa–Han Road (Km 54–76): 34.72%

- Tumu–Han–Lawra (Km 45–70): 22.02%

- Tumu–Han–Lawra (Km 10–30): 15%

- Tumu–Sissili-Navrongo: 43%

Briefing the media after the inspection, the Deputy Minister for Roads and Highways, Hon. Alhassan Suhuyini, said the Government recognises the region’s agricultural potential and is therefore investing significantly in its road infrastructure.

He added that the region will also benefit from feeder-road projects under the $500 million Ghana Market Access and Connectivity Project (GMACP).
