“Oti bridge, for the Oti bridge, I am determined, I made the promise and I am going to see to it that it is done. If you talk about legacy, I want the Oti bridge to be my legacy project,” he said
The project was captured in the government’s recent mid-year budget review presented to Parliament by the Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta.
