President John Dramani Mahama has assured residents along the Eastern Corridor in the Northern Region that government is making tangible progress to improve road infrastructure in the area.
Speaking during a stop in Bimbilla in the Nanumba North District as part of his ongoing “Resetting Ghana” tour, the President revealed that plans for the construction of the Chereponi–Bunkpurugu road are at an advanced stage. He added that government officials are expected to return soon for the official sod-cutting ceremony to begin the project.
Addressing chiefs and community members, President Mahama stressed his administration’s commitment to equitable development, particularly in ensuring that road projects are fairly distributed across all regions of the country.
He disclosed that between 2025 and 2026, contracts have been awarded for more than 2,000 kilometres of roads nationwide, with an estimated total cost of GH¢50 billion. According to him, this represents the largest single investment in road construction in Ghana’s history.
The President also reassured residents of Bimbilla and surrounding communities that no region would be sidelined in the allocation of development projects.
“Every part of this country is receiving its fair share of road infrastructure. You will not be left out,” he stated.
President Mahama further noted that his administration has awarded more road contracts than any government since independence, highlighting its focus on improving connectivity, boosting economic activity, and enhancing the overall quality of life for Ghanaians.
