President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has said the Bolgatanga-Bawku Road, which has been left unconstructed for numerous years, will be completed by the end of December 2020.
He said “the Bolgatanga-Bawku-Polimakom road, which has been the subject of many unfulfilled promises, the latest by the NDC presidential candidate, then President, is now being visibly tackled, and will soon be completed.”
Addressing the Upper East Regional House of Chiefs on Thursday, 8th October 2020, as part of his 2-day working visit to the Upper East Region, Nana Akufo-Addo told the Chiefs that the initial day of his visit had seen him go to the website of the building and construction.
” Indeed, fifty (50) kilometres of the 96.5 kilometre road has been finished in first class condition, and is now in use. The remaining 46.5 kilometre, according to the Minister for Roads and Highways, that instrument of development on our country, is scheduled to be completed by December,” he added.
The President also said one more significant project ongoing in the Upper East Region is the Pwalugu Multi-Purpose Dam, “the largest investment in the entire northern sector of our country since independence.”
When finished, President Akufo-Addo stated that “the eight hundred and eight million-dollar ($808 million) project, whose funding has been fully secured, will help the Region not only to increase its generation of electricity for development, but will also, finally, put paid to the perennial flooding menace that has ravaged the Region for decades.”
