Navrongo-Naaga-Kologo road to be asphalted soon – Navrongo MCE
The Navrongo-Kologo-Naaga road, a major highway connecting several towns in the Navrongo and Bolgatanga municipalities, was awarded on contract in 2020.
Joseph Adongo, the Chief Executive of the Kassena-Nankana Municipal Assembly has assured residents that the Navrongo-Naaga road will soon be asphalted.
Work on the important road has begun after the contractor stopped work for months.
Appearing on the Big Mike Breakfast show, Adongo stated that the road project is a top priority and the government was doing everything within means to complete it.
“By the grace of God, we will complete that road. I have been talking to the contractor and I can assure residents that asphalting will begin in the coming days. The asphalting has not started because the contractor wants to complete the filling in first.
“We engaged and told him to start doing the asphalting too. So, very soon we will begin to see improvement on that road up to Biu Junction.”
The Navrongo-Kologo-Naaga road, a major highway connecting several towns in the Navrongo and Bolgatanga municipalities, was awarded on contract in 2020. It was scheduled to be completed a year later. But after almost four years, the completion of the road is still not in sight.
Adongo on the show explained that circumstances beyond the municipal assembly accounted for the delay. He, however, stated that the issues have been cleared and work would continue smoothly.
He commended the government for the several life-changing projects in the area and urged the residents to retain the government at the December 7 polls.
“Comparatively, we have done well. Even if the road is not completed, we have shown commitment by doing something unlike our critics who had the chance but did not do anything.
“It saddens my heart when people are lamenting that the NPP government have not done well in roads in the country. If we have not done anything on roads, we have outdone the NDC in the area of roads”
“This government has done a lot in all aspects and performed better than any other government. I therefore think the good people of Navrongo should vote for the NPP to continue to bring development.”
