The Deputy National DRIP Coordinator for the Southern Sector, Ing Kwadwo Aboagye, has appealed to Ghanaians to exercise patience as road improvement projects are set to begin after the rainy season.
During an inspection of DRIP equipment at Ada East, Ada West, and Tema Metropolitan Assembly on June 27, 2025, Ing Aboagye explained that the equipment in all 271 districts has been temporarily parked at district assembly offices or police stations for safekeeping.
“This strategic decision ensures that the equipment is in optimal working condition before deployment.”
Ing Aboagye assured the public that the projects will commence immediately after the rainy season, enhancing road accessibility and facilitating the movement of goods and people.
He emphasised the District Road Improvement Programme’s (DRIP) commitment to upgrading the country’s road infrastructure and urged Ghanaians to bear with the temporary pause in operations, which is crucial for the project’s success.
Following the inspection, the Head of Technical Operations at JA Plant Pool, the authorised servicing company for the DRIP equipment, confirmed that the equipment inspected was in good shape.
He further gave the assurance that upon completion of the servicing process, the machines will be deployed to improve road networks across all districts, making them accessible to everyone.
“With this development, Ghanaians can look forward to improved road infrastructure, which will undoubtedly boost economic activities and enhance the overall quality of life,” he said.
“The DRIP’s efforts are expected to bring significant relief to communities and travellers alike, marking a positive step towards a more connected and accessible Ghana,” Aboagye added.
