In a striking display of skill and determination, 18-year-old Monica from Bibiani, has captured public attention by operating a road roller machine at the bustling construction site of the Kasoa-Winneba Highway.
Monica, one of the few female machine operators in the sector, has been working on the Accra-Winneba Road project, where her confident handling of the heavy-duty vehicle has impressed engineers, commuters, and passersby alike.
According to a SikaOfficial video on X, her presence on the site challenges long-standing gender norms in the construction industry, especially in roles involving large machinery. "I love what I do, and I'm proud to be part of something that is building our nation's infrastructure.
It wasn't easy at first, but I was determined to learn and prove myself," she indicated.
