Deputy Minister Alhassan Suhuyini admits the government feels worried about the terrible Ofankor-Nsawam road. The Roads and Highways Ministry member for Tamale North says officials know drivers are suffering on the broken highway. The dual carriage road project has blown past two major deadlines including July 2024 and May 2025. Motorists struggle to get their cars through the damaged sections without breaking down. Commercial drivers are charging passengers more money because they have to visit mechanics all the time.
The minister himself has secretly driven on the road several times to see how bad things really are. Social media complaints about the highway prompted the surprise visits from the top government official. Ministry bosses have held multiple meetings with the construction company working on the project. They have pushed the contractor to fix the worst parts of the road right away. The deputy minister says the company must keep sections open to traffic in decent condition.
Road contracts always require builders to maintain areas that drivers still use during construction work. The ministry wants to reduce frustration for people traveling on the damaged highway. Pokuase remains one of the most important road projects for the government department. Officials promise they are taking action to address the problems that affect thousands of drivers every day. The contractor faces pressure to deliver better results for the motoring public.
