Agbodza, Sam George seek better coordination to protect fibre optic cables

The Minister for Roads and Highways, Kwame Governs Agbodza, has engaged the Minister for Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations, Samuel Nartey George, and other stakeholders to address recurring damage to fibre optic cables during road construction and rehabilitation works across Ghana.

The engagement follows concerns over damage to critical digital infrastructure during road projects, with participants highlighting the need for improved communication, early planning and closer collaboration among institutions responsible for road construction and telecommunications infrastructure.

Improved cooperation between the roads and communications sectors is expected to reduce avoidable damage to fibre optic cables, limit service interruptions and support Ghana’s broader digital development objectives.
