Big Push road works linked to half of Ghana’s fibre cuts – Sam George

“The single largest cause, by a wide margin, is uncoordinated excavation connected to road construction, and in particular to the Government’s own ‘Big Push’ road programme, which accounts for roughly half of all road-related fibre cuts each month,” he said.

Communications, Digital Technology and Innovations Minister Samuel Nartey George has disclosed that the government’s Big Push road programme is responsible for roughly half of the fibre cuts linked to road construction each month.

Mr George said government was responding through a joint Cabinet Memorandum between his Ministry and the Ministry of Roads and Highways on the Dig Once Policy, which requires telecommunications infrastructure to be incorporated into road construction planning.
