President John Dramani Mahama has assured residents along the Jinijini–Sampa corridor that the long-delayed road project will be fully completed and asphalted by the end of 2027.

Speaking on Wednesday during an inspection of ongoing works by Rango Construction Company Limited in the Bono Region, the President acknowledged the challenges that have plagued the project over the years but reaffirmed his government’s commitment to delivering it.

“Today, we are here to inspect work done by Rango Construction Company Limited on the Jinijini road, which has experienced challenges over the years,” he stated.

“I want to assure you that we are committed to completing this road. This will be a fully asphalted road, and by the end of 2027, the stretch from Jinijini to Sampa will be completed. We will return to commission it together with you,” he added.

The inspection formed part of President Mahama’s ongoing Accountability Series tour of the region, an initiative he said fulfils a key campaign promise to uphold transparency and engage citizens directly.

“During our campaign, we made a clear promise to the people of Ghana that when given the mandate, we would practise open and fair governance and remain accountable to the people at all times. That is the commitment we are delivering on today,” he said.

Touching on the economy, President Mahama noted improvements in key indicators, stating that inflation had declined from 23.4 percent when he assumed office, while the cedi had appreciated from 17 to about 10.7 to the US dollar.

“With this stability, investor confidence is returning, and foreign direct investment is increasing,” he said.

The President also highlighted several flagship government initiatives supporting national development, including the Big Push, Mahama Cares, Nkoko Nkitinkiti, and the 24-hour market programme.

He revealed that a sod-cutting ceremony for a 24-hour market in the region had earlier been held with the Dormaahene.

President Mahama further invited chiefs, queen mothers, elders, and other stakeholders to participate in the Accountability Series forum in Sunyani, describing it as a platform for meaningful engagement between government and citizens.

“Come and listen to what government has done, and also share your concerns with us. Your input is important as we work together to build a better Ghana,” he urged.
