According to Citi News, Akufo-Addo spoke on the completion of other projects, such as the dualisation of the Ofankor-Nsawam road and the dualisation of the Ahenema Kokoben road, when he touched on the Suame road.

“Government is committed to replicate such successful initiatives along other corridors of the region such as Suame Roundabout to Tafo-Pankrono… Another important project in the region is the construction of the Suame Interchange, the project is progressing steadily.”

The president was speaking at the sod-cutting for an Anhwiankwanta-Ahenema Kokoben road project on July 15.

The interchange project has, in the past, drawn appeals from the government’s New Patriotic Party base in the Ashanti Region.

Ashanti Regional Chairman of the NPP, Bernard Antwi-Boasiako, notably urged the government to expedite work on the project, per Citi FM.
