The Minister for Roads and Highways, Governs Kwame Agbodza, has engaged in discussions with the African Development Bank (AfDB) to secure funding and ensure the successful execution of key road projects in Ghana.
The meeting, which took place yesterday, focused on strengthening collaboration between the government and the AfDB to enhance road infrastructure across the country.
The discussions underscored the government’s commitment to improving road networks as part of its broader development agenda.

During the meeting, several critical road projects were highlighted, including the Eastern Corridor Development Programme Phases 1 and 2, the Dambai Bridge Project, and the Abidjan-Lagos Corridor Road Project.
Also on the agenda were the government’s Big Push Initiative, the reintroduction of road tolls, and strategies to improve road maintenance nationwide.
Mr. Agbodza specifically appealed for financial support from the Bank for the reconstruction of the Techiman-Wa road, a key route vital for trade and transportation in the northern part of the country.
Expressing appreciation for the AfDB’s continuous assistance, Mr. Agbodza reaffirmed the government’s dedication to finding sustainable ways to finance road infrastructure.

He emphasised the importance of securing long-term funding solutions to ensure the consistent development and maintenance of Ghana’s road network.
The reintroduction of road tolls, he noted, would play a crucial role in generating additional revenue for road projects.
Leading the AfDB delegation, Country Manager Eyerusalem Fasika reiterated the Bank’s commitment to supporting Ghana’s infrastructure development. She highlighted the significance of well-maintained roads in boosting economic growth and facilitating regional trade.
The discussions mark a step forward in Ghana’s efforts to strengthen its partnership with the AfDB, with both parties looking forward to concrete outcomes that will improve road connectivity and enhance economic opportunities across the country.
