The event brought together key government officials, traditional leaders, and residents, all eager to witness the beginning of a project expected to transform transportation and economic activity in the Nkoranza municipal area.
Hon. Francis Owusu Antwi, in his address, explained the importance of the project to the region’s growth. According to him, the new road will ease movement, improve access to essential services, and enhance trade opportunities for local farmers and businesses.
“This project is not just about building a road; it’s about connecting people, improving livelihoods, and laying the foundation for greater development across our region.
“We are committed to ensuring that every community in Bono East feels the impact of government’s infrastructure agenda. This road will open up economic opportunities for our farmers and traders.” He stated.
