Mr Yartey further shared the encouraging news that the project is being managed by a local Ghanaian contractor.

“The Nsawam Ofankor road project is being handled by one of our own, a Ghanaian contractor who is doing exceptional work. Interestingly, the same contractor won the motorway project. It’s heartening to see that we have contractors in Ghana with the capacity to undertake such projects. This aligns with the Ministry’s ongoing efforts to build the capacities of local contractors,” he added.
