Kumasi Mayor, Richard Ofori-Agyemang Boadi
The Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA) has issued an evacuation notice to car dealers, mechanic shops, taxi operators, squatters, temporary structure owners and other traders along the Santasi-Ahodwo stretch of the road.
The directive is to make way for a major road construction project, which will see the construction of a dual carriage road from Santasi to Ahodwo roundabout.
The assembly in a press release copied to OTEC News desk on Wednesday September 23, 2025 said, all affected persons are required to vacate the area no later than October 30, 2025.
Failure to comply will result in forced eviction by the KMA, effective November 1, 2025.
“The Assembly urges all affected persons and the general public to comply fully with this directive to facilitate the timely completion of the project.
“The Government of Ghana has secured a grant from the Japanese International Cooperation Agency (JICA) to construct a dual carriage road from Santasi to Ahodwo roundabout to link the Asokwa Interchange,” the KMA stated.
KMA in the release signed by its Public Relations Department emphasised the road construction project is expected to improve the infrastructure and connectivity in the area.
“The KMA is working to ensure the smooth execution of the project, which will benefit the residents and commuters in the long run,” the release said.
The KMA has warned that any individual, businesses or structures still occupying the designated stretch after October 30, 2025, will face forced eviction.
The Assembly urges all affected persons to comply with the directive to avoid any inconvenience.
