Eastern Corridor Road remains a priority for gov’t – Suhuyini

Deputy Roads and Highways Minister-designate, Alhassan Sayibu Suhuyini has said government will not abandon the Eastern Corridor Road project.

Appearing before the Appointments Committee of Parliament on Wednesday, February 26, 2025, Suhuyini assured that government will attach all seriousness to complete the project within the shortest possible time.

“I have the assurances of my minister and by extension the government that the Eastern Corridor Road remains a priority road to this government and will be tackled with all the seriousness that it deserves for it to be completed within the shortest possible time,” he told the Committee.

The Eastern Corridor Road, a major national infrastructure project, serves as a crucial link between the northern and southern parts of Ghana.

Stretching from Tema in the Greater Accra Region through the Volta, Oti, Northern, and Upper East regions, the road is a vital trade route that facilitates economic activities, including agriculture, commerce, and transportation.

The road significantly reduces travel time for commuters and traders transporting goods such as yam, maize, cassava, and other agricultural products from the northern regions to key market centers in Accra and other parts of the country.

Additionally, it plays a crucial role in Ghana’s regional trade, facilitating the movement of goods and services between Ghana and neighboring countries such as Togo, Burkina Faso, and Niger.

Some sections, such as the Jasikan-Dodo Pepesu road, have been completed while other parts, including the Oti Damanko-Gbinti road and Hohoe-Jasikan, are still under construction, with progress ranging from 71% to 92% completion.
