Commenting on some road projects earlier, roads minister Kwasi Amoako-Attah said the progress of work on the Makango-Salaga road to date was 25 percent.

YEN.com.gh reported that this statement was made in response to a question posed by the NDC MP for Salaga South, Zuwera Mohammed Ibrahimah, last year.

The Salaga South MP wanted to know when the Makango-Salaga and other roads under construction in her area would be completed.

Amoako-Atta also said the Makango-Salaga road was being constructed under the "Rehabilitation of Tamale-Salaga-Makango" contract, which was 52 kilometres long.

He said the project commenced on January 21, 2021, and was expected to be completed by January 20, 2023.
