Bolgatanga-Bawku road awarded to Brazillian company‏


The Upper East Regional Minister, Albert Abongo, has announced that the Bolgatanga- Bawku road contract has finally been awarded to a Brazilian company currently working on the Tamale Airport in the Northern region. 

Twenty kilometres of roads within Bolga township will also be asphalted while some feeder roads will be reconstructed. 

Mr Abongo made this disclosure when members of the Coalition of SADA zone Civil Society Organisations met him to discuss state of affairs in the region. 

The Coalition spoke passionately about the poor road networks, the collapsed factories, and the state of security in the region. 

It expressed disappointment about the slow pace of development and pleaded with the regional minister to use his esteemed office to facilitate the pace of developmental projects to the area. 

The Coalition also proposed that building contractors engaged by government should be made to grow trees as part of contract agreement to promote afforestation. 

The Regional Minister, Albert Abongo, indicated that efforts were being made to revamp the collapsed factories and underscored the need for the region to prepare to sustain operations at the factories as will be needed all year round to justify the rehabilitation investments made. 

He was confident that the Bolga-Bawku road will commence soon.
