‘There’s a limit to the budget’ – Mahama explains phased Big Push projects

Speaking on the first day of the two-day ‘Resetting Ghana Tour’ in the Upper West Region, where he inspected the Wa–Han Big Push road project, President Mahama said the government had to prioritise road projects as it works to address the country’s infrastructure needs.

He explained that the government had prioritised major trunk roads, particularly those linking regional capitals, before moving on to feeder roads connecting communities and towns to the main road network.

President John Dramani Mahama has said the government’s Big Push road projects will be implemented in phases, stressing that the government cannot undertake all the country’s road projects at once because of limits to the available budget.
