Use quality materials for Ofankor-Nsawam road project – John Mahama
President John Dramani Mahama has instructed Maripoma Enterprise Limited, the contractors working on the Ofankor–Nsawam road project, to prioritize the use of quality materials in the ongoing construction.
The directive was given during his working visit to the project site on Wednesday, September 3, 2025. He was accompanied by the Minister of Roads, Governs Agbodza.
The Ofankor–Nsawam project resumed in April 2025 after a four-month suspension over alleged non-payments.
Mr. Mahama urged the contractors to accelerate the work to reduce the heavy traffic congestion along the stretch.
“As the government commits to paying you well, you too must commit to moving faster on the road and also use quality materials. One of the major problems with road contractors in this country is the quality of materials.
You build the road, and after a short while, the road starts to deteriorate. Your company is one of the world’s most well-known contracting companies. We hope that this will be a mark of the quality of your brand,” he said.
Chief Resident Engineer of the Rehabilitation of the Ofankor–Nsawam Road (Dual Carriage), Ing. Kwabena Bimpong, assured the government that the project would be completed by the second quarter of 2026.
