Deputy Minister-designate for Roads and Highways, Alhassan Suhuyini, has reaffirmed the government's commitment to prioritising the development of untarred roads across the country.

Speaking during his vetting before the Appointments Committee of Parliament on Wednesday, February 26, 2025, Suhuyini outlined key factors that will guide road development, including high traffic volumes, densely populated areas, and access to agricultural production zones.

He also noted the increasing role of tourism in determining infrastructure priorities. "The considerations have been high traffic areas, areas with high population, roads leading to agric production areas, farmlands, and all of that.

And I think that tourism has also become an area that can attract the need for roads to be prioritised," Suhuyini stated.
