'Big Push': Road Minister cautions contractors against compromising quality

Mr Governs Kwame Agbodza, the Minister of Roads and Highways has cautioned contractors executing the 'Big Push' Road Infrastructure programme across the length and breadth of the country against 'compromising' quality standards.

He emphasised that funding for the 'Big Push' was not a problem, and asked the contractors to speed up, however, ensure that the road projects meet the required specification and quality.

Mr Agbodza gave the caution when he inspected the progress of work on the 34- kilometer Sunyani Outer Ring Road project at Fiapre in the Sunyani West Municipality, where the contractors had started major asphaltic works on the project.

President John Dramani Mahama performed the ground breaking ceremony for the 34-km Sunyani Outer Ring Road project on December 21, 2025, under the "Big Push" to boost economic growth, reduce congestion, and improve connectivity in the regional capital.

Mr Agbodza commended Kofi Job Company Limited for the progress of work so far, and encouraged contractors executing the 'Big Push' projects to continue working hard.

Mr Kofi Kamkam, the Engineer of the Kofi Job Company Limited told Sompa FM that the company remained committed to complete dual-carriage asphaltic road, even before the stipulated period.

He said the project was scheduled to be completed in two years, however, added that with the level of work, it could be completed before the stipulated period.
