President has assured the chiefs and people of the Upper West Region of his commitment to rehabilitating and constructing major roads linking the region to the rest of the country.

He mentioned the construction of the Wa-Tumu-Navrongo trunk road, the rehabilitation of the Techiman-Wenchi-Bole-Wa-Hamile road, and the resurfacing of sections of the Sawla-Fufulso road. "These roads will not only enhance trade and transport, but they will also stimulate cross-border business and revive economic activities," President Mahama said.

The President gave the assurance in Wa on Thursday when he addressed the chiefs and people of the Upper West Region during his "Thank You" tour.

President Mahama commenced his tour with a courtesy call on Naa Seidu Fuseini Pelpuo IV, the Overlord of the Wala Traditional Area.
