The Upper West, Upper East, and Volta Regional Co­ordinating Councils (RCCs) have taken delivery of road maintenance equipment under the District Road Improvement Programme (DRIP). Launched last month by Presi­dent Akufo-Addo, DRIP aims to expand road network coverage, increase accessibility, enhance mobility, and improve economic activities at the local level. The RCCs will hand over the equipment to their respective Met­ropolitan, Municipal, and District Assemblies (MMDAs) to improve road construction and infrastruc­ture in the regions. The Upper West Region, which comprises 11 municipal and district assemblies, received 106 pieces of equipment, including tipper trucks, motor graders, low beds, pick-ups, concrete mixers, backhoes, rollers, graders, wheel loaders, and water tankers. Inaugurating the equipment, the Regional Minister, Stephen Yakubu, praised President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for his responsiveness to the needs of Ghanaians, particularly in road infrastructure.
