The Minister for Roads and Highways, Govern Kwame Agbodza, has commenced another phase of his nationwide inspection tour, focusing on the progress of key road infrastructure projects in the Eastern, Volta and Oti regions.
The exercise forms part of the Ministry’s ongoing efforts to monitor road construction and rehabilitation works, ensure contractors meet project timelines and uphold quality standards in the delivery of road infrastructure.
Among the projects scheduled for inspection are the rehabilitation of the Atimpoku–Asikuma Junction road corridor, repair works on the Asikuma Junction–Have road, the reconstruction of the Have–Hohoe stretch, and rehabilitation of the Hohoe–Jasikan–Nkwanta–Dambai corridor.
The latest tour follows similar inspections conducted in other parts of the country, during which the Minister cautioned contractors against abandoning project sites or executing substandard work.
Previous inspections led to the replacement of some contractors whose performance was deemed unsatisfactory, while others were directed to speed up work or risk the termination of their contracts.
As part of efforts to strengthen transparency and public participation in road project monitoring, Mr Agbodza has urged residents to report abandoned or delayed projects by submitting videos and photographs through social media or directly to the Ministry.
According to the Minister, public feedback will complement the Ministry’s monitoring efforts and help ensure contractors remain on site, meet agreed timelines and deliver projects to the required standards.
The nationwide inspection exercise forms part of the government’s broader agenda to improve road infrastructure, strengthen contractor accountability and ensure value for money in the execution of public road projects.
