The Minister for Roads and Highways, Kwame Governs Agbodza, has reaffirmed the government’s unwavering commitment to successfully executing the Abidjan-Lagos Corridor Highway Development Project.
He made the assurance during the official launch of the National Stakeholders and Community Engagement Campaign for Project Affected Communities in Ghana, held in Accra on Wednesday, 14 May.
When completed, the 1,028-kilometre highway will link five West African nations—Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Togo, Benin, and Nigeria—connecting major economic hubs including Abidjan, Accra, Lomé, Cotonou, and Lagos.

According to the Minister, the initiative is expected to play a critical role in the region’s economic integration.
“The project, when completed, will facilitate the free movement of goods and services, thereby enhancing the socio-economic development of the sub-region,” Mr. Agbodza stated.
He further noted that Ghana's portion of the corridor spans approximately 520 kilometres, representing more than half of the entire route.
This section is expected to be constructed as a greenfield project, traversing key towns and cities such as Apimanim, Takoradi, Cape Coast, Saltpond, Winneba, Accra, Tema, Kasseh, Akatsi, and Akanu.

The stakeholder engagement campaign aims to raise awareness and educate the roughly 32 communities set to be impacted by the highway project.
The Minister emphasised that community participation is central to the project’s success, saying, “We are committed to ensuring that affected communities are fully informed, consulted, and involved in the development process.”
