Very soon a high-powered delegation of leaders from.the Upper West Region shall undertake a monitoring tour of part of the N12 road under the BIG PUSH project.

All the Contractors on the Wa – Wenchi part of the N12 should be in readiness to let road users and the general public appreciate their capacity, competence and respect for timelines.

The event will receive full media coverage for the desired maximum effect.
The BIG PUSH must push through from Wenchi to Wa in good time.
The commitment of President John Dramani Mahama as well as the industry of the Roads & Highways Minister, Hon Kwame Governs Agbodza to this flagship project can not be over emphasized.

Parliamentary oversight on major projects like that of the BIG PUSH must be in the front burner.
We represent the people and their concerns must awaken our conscience to show full interest in the President’s flagship project.
Thank you Mr. President for turning Ghana into a construction site. We shall act as your eyes and ears on the ground by providing effective oversight as a duty.
