Minister for Roads and Highways Governs Kwame Agbodza has expressed frustration over the delayed construction of the 71.25-kilometre Enchi–Elubo road project in the Western North Region after discovering that work had still not commenced months after the contract was awarded.
During an inspection tour of the project site on Tuesday, May 12, 2026, the minister criticised contractor Top Engineering International Ltd for failing to mobilise to the site despite reportedly receiving mobilisation funds in December 2025.
The Enchi–Elubo stretch, a vital road used by cocoa farmers, traders, and commuters, has remained in a deteriorated state for years, with residents battling potholes, erosion, and severe transportation difficulties.
Past rehabilitation efforts, including a 2020 road upgrade initiative, failed to permanently resolve the situation.
visibly disappointed during the inspection, Mr Agbodza warned the contractor against further delays and questioned the lack of activity on the project.
“If we didn’t pay for the mobilisation, we would have terminated this job today. What is this? It is so annoying,” he said.
The minister subsequently directed the contractor to immediately deploy equipment and personnel to the site and begin work without delay.
Residents in communities along the road, including Fawoman, also appealed to government to ensure the completion of the project, stressing that the poor condition of the highway continues to affect trade, transportation, and access to essential services.
