In the vibrant municipality of Bolgatanga, a noteworthy transformation is underway, spearheaded by Hon. Rex Asanga, the District Chief Executive. Apexnewsgh reports
The Bolgatanga Municipal Assembly is on a mission to revitalize the area’s road network, utilizing the District Road Improvement Programme (DRIP-2024). This initiative is designed to enhance accessibility for communities, and the assembly is employing specialized equipment to make it happen.
The DRIP-2024 program was launched on July 31, 2024, by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo at the iconic Black Star Square, marking a significant step in Ghana’s national effort to upgrade road infrastructure. The program empowers Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Assemblies (MMDAs) across the country to improve road networks, and Bolgatanga is no exception.
A community that exemplifies the positive impact of this initiative is Tindonmongo. For too long, residents struggled with a poorly maintained road that linked to the Assemblies of God Church. This situation forced locals to take an inconvenient detour through Mobil Park just to reach their destination. However, with the assembly’s recent interventions, that road is now being upgraded, much to the joy of the community.
Hon. Haruna Bawa, the Zongo Assembly Member, expressed his excitement about the project, emphasizing that his constituents have “suffered for far too long” due to inadequate road networks. He noted that the community members are not just hopeful—they are “supportive and excited” about the progress being made.
Hon. Haruna took a moment to extend his gratitude to residents for their cooperation and understanding throughout the improvement process.
The efforts of the Bolgatanga Municipal Assembly are a clear testament to the transformative power of DRIP-2024 in enhancing Ghana’s road infrastructure.
As the municipality continues to grow, now with a population exceeding 131,000 people, improved road networks will be crucial for enhancing connectivity and driving economic development forward. With each paved road and restored pathway, the future of Bolgatanga looks brighter and more connected than ever before.
