President John Dramani Mahama has inspected the ongoing 80-kilometre Jinijini–Sampa Road project as part of his nationwide Resetting Ghana Tour, reaffirming his administration’s commitment to infrastructure development and citizen engagement.
During the visit, the President met with traditional authorities, including chiefs, queen mothers, and community leaders, alongside residents of the area. He expressed gratitude for the warm reception and emphasized that transparency, accountability, and inclusive governance remain central to his leadership approach.
Addressing the state of the economy, President Mahama noted that Ghana is showing signs of stabilisation, citing a significant decline in inflation and a strengthening cedi against major foreign currencies. He highlighted renewed investor confidence and rising foreign direct investment as critical drivers of sustainable growth and improved livelihoods.
On infrastructure, the President underscored the importance of quality road networks in boosting trade, enhancing mobility, and accelerating regional development. He assured residents that the Jinijini–Sampa Road, which has faced longstanding challenges, will be completed to full asphalt standards by the end of 2027.
Mahama also outlined flagship initiatives under his administration, including The Big Push, Mahama Cares, Nkoko Nkitinkiti, and the 24-hour market programme, designed to stimulate economic activity and create jobs nationwide. He referenced the recent sod-cutting ceremony for a 24-hour market in the region, stressing its role in supporting local traders and expanding commerce.
Concluding his remarks, the President encouraged citizens to take part in the upcoming stakeholder engagement in Sunyani, noting that public feedback is vital to shaping responsive policies and advancing national development.
