President John Dramani Mahama has directed the Ministry for Roads and Highways to urgently prioritise the rehabilitation and completion of the Maaban-Goaso Highway.
The directive, issued during President Mahama’s “Thank You Tour” in Goaso on Saturday, May 31, is aimed at improving transportation and boosting economic activity in the Ahafo Region.
He emphasised that the highway holds significant potential to unlock investment and enhance trade across the area.
“We will not abandon projects that were begun by the past government. We’re here to finish what we started and to build what is needed. We will soon have contractors back at work,” President Mahama stated.
He reaffirmed his commitment to continuing development projects, regardless of which administration initiated them, stressing that “governance is continuity.”
President Mahama also announced that an inventory of all abandoned and uncompleted infrastructure projects has been undertaken.
“We have taken inventory of all abandoned and uncompleted projects by all previous governments,” he said.
Based on this, he has tasked the Ministry of Roads and Highways to ensure the swift completion of the Maaban-Goaso Highway and other key roads in the region.
“I have directed the Ministry of Roads and Highways to prioritise the completion of the Maaban-Goaso Highway. This is a crucial link for mobility and trade across the region. In addition to the urban roads in Goaso, Kenyase, and Acherensua, these town roads should be upgraded to support urban growth and improve transport safety,” he said.
The completion of these road projects is expected to enhance mobility, facilitate regional trade, and support economic development in the Ahafo Region.
