The Municipal Chief Executive for the area, Yaw Owusu Addo commended the contractor for the work done so far – adding that “we know you will do a good job for us.”

“We had to make new designs and drawings and these drawings and designs need to pass through the procurement process for our request to be granted then finally, hand over everything to the Contractor”, he said.
 
The project is estimated at a cost of Gh 27 million cedis and is being sponsored by the Middle Belt Development Authority as part of the one million per constituency project.
