Adantia and Kwatre communities grateful to President Akufo-Addo for road construction

Adantia and Kwatre communities in the Sunyani West Municipality have expressed their appreciation to President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for the re-shaping of the Odumase-Badu road. The 30.2-kilometre road had been neglected for over two decades, slowing down economic activities in the area. The Chiefs and people of Adantia and Kwatre commended the President for fulfilling his promise to reshape the road and enhance transportation in the area.

The Kyidomhene of the Adantia Divisional Council, Obrempong Kwasi Boanu I, expressed his appreciation in an interview with the Ghana News Agency during a visit to the communities. The Chief commended the Sunyani-based Alexiboam Company Limited for the steady progress in reshaping the road, and reported that tarring work on the seven-kilometre Kwatire-Adantia portion of the stretch had commenced with works on the prima seal already completed.

The community leaders stated that the resumption of work on the road had boosted their trust and confidence in the government. They initially thought that the President’s pledge to fix the road was mere political rhetoric, but the progress of work on the road is now evident for all to see. The Chief of Kwatire, Nana Kwabena Yeboah, added that work on the re-shaping of the road had made the government more popular in the area.

He also commended the government for the level of development brought to the area, citing the Kwatire Polyclinic that had benefited from a doctor’s bungalow and currently had access to potable drinking water. However, he appealed to the Sunyani West Municipal Assembly to construct a fence wall around the bungalow to improve security.

The community leaders also appealed to the Government to reshape access roads and enhance the drainage systems to help control erosion in the town. They expressed their gratitude to the President and his government for bringing development to their communities, and hoped that the government would continue to prioritize the development of rural areas in the country.
