President John Dramani Mahama has assured Ghanaians that the Big Push infrastructure programme will benefit all 16 regions of the country. Speaking at a sod-cutting ceremony for projects in Dodowa, Afienya, and Dawhenya on Tuesday, September 16, the President explained that the programme’s priority is to improve roads linking regional and district capitals, as well as ease transportation in major food-producing areas.
The President outlined the criteria for selecting projects, stating that the first priority is to connect regional capitals, followed by roads linking districts, and then roads in major food-producing and industrial areas. He emphasized that the programme is nationwide, with every region set to benefit from its share of the Big Push.
Mahama noted that similar sod-cutting ceremonies will be held in five other locations to mark the start of the programme. He congratulated the people of Dodowa, Afienya, and Dawhenya for being the first to kick off the programme.
