The Upper West Regional Minister, Hon. Stephen Yakubu, has lauded President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for his visionary leadership in implementing the District Road Improvement Project (DRIP).

During the reception and inauguration of the DRIP equipment for the Upper West Region, commissioned by the President in Accra, Mr. Yakubu commended the government’s responsiveness to Ghanaians’ needs, particularly in road infrastructure.

“This is a fulfillment of our ‘Year of Roads’ promise,” Yakubu declared, expressing relief that the equipment arrived at a critical time, given the poor condition of roads in the Upper West Region.

He assured the public that the equipment would be utilised effectively and deployed immediately to districts to begin roadwork without delay.

Acting Regional Coordinator of the DRIP, Mr. Venantius Kuundri, stated that JA Plant Pool, a sister company of the Jospong Group of Companies, would monitor and maintain the equipment across Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs).

In collaboration with the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) and local assemblies, strict maintenance protocols would be adhered to, ensuring equipment longevity. Spare parts would be stocked regionally to address issues promptly, he stressed.

The Upper West Region, comprising 11 municipal and district assemblies, received 106 pieces of equipment under the DRIP initiative, including tipper trucks, motor graders, low beds, pick-ups, concrete mixers, backhoes, rollers, graders, wheel loaders, and water tankers, aimed at improving road construction and infrastructure in the region.
