President Akufo Addo ends three day tour of Western Region

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has ended his three day tour of the Western Region with the announcement of massive road constructions to be undertaken in the region this year.  

According to the President, despite the mantra of “unprecedented infrastructural development” by his  predecessor in the run-up to the 2016 elections, a major problem of the Chiefs and people of every region he has visited so far, including the Western Region is the poor nature of road infrastructure. 

In the Western Region, the President cut the sod for the construction of the 24.3 kilometre Kojina-Chirano-Akoti road in Bibiani; the 25 kilometre Asankragwa-Fordjuorkrom road in Breman; and the 16 kilometre Kejibir-Mpohor road.  

President Akufo-Addo told a durbar of Chiefs from Nzema East, Ellembelle, Jomoro, Ahanta West, Kwesimintsim, Effia, Takoradi, Sekondi, Essikado-Ketan and Shama, that his government has secured funds to complete the 71 kilometre Elubo-Enchi road, which began in 2011, but was not completed. 

The President said the Sino-hydro Facility will also be used to construct an interchange at the PTC Roundabout in Takoradi. 

He said Cabinet has also taken the decision that all Sekondi-Takoradi town roads are to be tarred, and this will begin this year. 

The construction of the 27 kilometre Sanko to Cape Three Points Road will also be carried out this year. 

Earlier in the day, President Akufo-Addo inspected ongoing works on the sea defence wall in Dixcove, and urged the contractors to complete the project on schedule.
