The construction of the Akyem Oda town and bypass roads, which halted in 2021 due to funding issues, has been revived through the intervention of Oda’s Member of Parliament (MP), Alexander Akwasi Acquah.
Mr. Acquah, utilizing his own resources, provided a GH¢1 million cheque to the construction firm Jo Mint Associate Limited to pre-finance the project.
The contractor has finished the two-kilometer bypass road connecting the main Oda-Agona Swedru road at SDA Junction with the Oda-New Abirem road at Sabbah Sawmills, applying the second bitumen layer to the road surface.
Other roads within Oda are near completion, awaiting the bitumen application.
Joseph Mintah, CEO of Jo Mint Associate Limited, expressed confidence in completing the entire project by year-end, enhancing Oda’s appearance.
He praised Mr. Acquah’s dedication to constituency development but urged the Minister of Roads to promptly pay him and other contractors to ensure timely completion of ongoing road projects.
