In an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA), Mr. Gyapong emphasised the urgency of completing these projects within the limited time available, stressing their importance to the region’s overall development.
He noted that the Big Push Agenda is a government initiative designed to accelerate economic growth, create employment opportunities, and raise the standard of living across the country.
