The Nsawam-Adoagyiri Municipal Assembly has appealed to residents and commuters along the Ofankor-Nsawam stretch to grant the Ministry of Roads and Highways a one-week ultimatum to secure the necessary funds to improve accessibility on the heavily deteriorated road.
This call comes amid mounting frustration from road users and a planned protest by the Nsawam Traffic Watchers set for July 12. The Assembly acknowledges that the slow pace of construction is due to a lack of funding, as confirmed by the road contractor.
Speaking to Citi News on Friday, July 4, the Municipal Chief Executive for Nsawam-Adoagyiri, Selorm Philibert Fummey, assured the public that efforts are being made at the highest level to expedite the project.
“The Minister told me that work is going on. He’s working behind the clock to get the road contractor some needed funds to continue with the work,” he said.
Mr. Fummey added that in the meantime, measures will be taken to make the road more accessible to ease the burden on commuters.
“For the time being, they are going to make everything possible for the road to be easier. I would like to plead with the road users to give the contractor and the Road Minister just one week or a few more days, and we’ll try and make the road more easing for them to use at least,” he said.
