The Minister for Roads and Highways, Kwame Governs Agbodza, has announced that the government will prioritise major road projects across the country as part of the ambitious Big Push infrastructure agenda outlined in the National Democratic Congress’s (NDC) 2024 manifesto.

Speaking at the Government's Accountability Series on Wednesday, July 30, Mr Agbodza said the initiative forms a core part of the government’s broader infrastructure development policy aimed at enhancing national connectivity, reducing traffic congestion, and stimulating inclusive economic growth.
