The Minister for Government Communications and Member of Parliament for Abura-Asebu-Kwamankese, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, has assured residents of Abura Dunkwa in the Central Region that major road projects will begin this year to address the poor state of infrastructure in the area.
Speaking in an interview with Umaru Sanda Amadu on Channel One TV’s Face to Face on Tuesday, September 16, Mr. Kwakye Ofosu admitted that the condition of roads in the district capital was deplorable but said the government had concrete plans to fix them.
“The road is pretty bad, but this year, we expect that at least two or three roads will be constructed. Abura Dunkwa will see improvements on its roads beginning in the latter part of the year [2025],” he said.
He outlined specific projects expected to commence, including a six-kilometre stretch from Asebu Junction to Abakrampa, a 4.5-kilometre section within the district capital, and a 5.5-kilometre road from Amosema to Adukrom. He added that a 21-kilometre road from Afengua Junction to Abura Dunkwa is also earmarked for construction.
Mr. Kwakye Ofosu expressed optimism that by late 2026, residents should witness significant improvements in road infrastructure in the area.
“There’s a six-kilometre road that runs through the district capital that will be constructed from the Asebu junction to Abakrampa. That one is about 4.5 kilometres, which will also be constructed. There’s a road that the NPP government awarded a contract for, but it didn’t get anywhere. That is also about 5.5 kilometres.
“That is Amosema to Adukrom. That one, too, will be constructed. There’s a 21-kilometre road from Afengua junction to Abura Dunkwa, and we expect that one will be tackled. Hopefully, by late next year (2026), we should see significant improvements in roads,” he stated.
