Mahama praises Roads Minister for keeping Big Push contractors on their toes

Beyond the progress of road projects, President Mahama praised mining giant Newmont for its collaboration with the government on infrastructure development and urged other major mining companies and corporate institutions to adopt similar arrangements.

President John Dramani Mahama has praised Roads and Highways Minister Governs Kwame Agbodza for ensuring contractors work at the pace required to deliver projects under the government’s Big Push infrastructure programme.

Under such arrangements, collaboration between the government and private companies, he said, could help fund essential projects, ease pressure on public resources and support development in areas where major commercial activities take place.
