The Nkoranza North District Chief Executive (DCE), Mr. Kwadwo Adjei Dwomoh, has called on the contractors upgrading the 30-kilometre Jema-Nkwanta-Nkoranza road to do everything to complete the job on schedule.

The project, awarded to Chinese Contractors, M/S Zhongmei Group Company, is being funded by the COCOBOD under the government’s cocoa roads rehabilitation project.

The DCE warned that any delay would not be accepted and could force them to terminate the contract.

He noted that the successful completion of the road project would bring tremendous economic benefits to the people.

It would facilitate trade as it could be used to connect Kumasi from the North as well as the Volta Region through Ejura-Atebubu-Yeji.

Speaking after inspecting it, he expressed satisfaction with the quality and pace of work so far done and asked that the momentum was sustained.

Mr. On Yong, Laboratory Engineer of the Company, gave the assurance that it would be ready by the close of the year.

He renewed the appeal to communities along the road stretch to give them the needed cooperation for smooth execution of the project.
