Senior
Project
Manager,
Ing.
Abdulai
Mahama
has
explained
the
delay
in
the
completion
of
the
Ofankor-Nsawam
road.
The
project,
which
began
in
September
2022,
was
expected
to
be
completed
within
24
months
but
is
currently
about
60
per
cent
complete.
Speaking
on
Adom
TV’s
current
affairs
show,
‘The
Big
Agenda’
with
Abena
Opokua
Ahwenee,
Mr
Mahama
explained
that
the
challenges
causing
the
delay
are
beyond
their
control.
Among
other
things,
he
revealed
that
they
had
to
demolish
a
shrine
along
the
way,
but
were
told
the
gods
had
travelled.
He
said
there
were
also
issues
to
be
addressed
between
settlers
and
landlords,
the
need
to
reposition
ECG
and
GRIDCO
high-tension
wires
among
others.
“My
sister,
during
construction,
we
encountered
a
shrine.
We
consulted
the
locals
and
were
told
the
gods
had
travelled”
“Which
delayed
us
for
three
and
a
half
months.
We
had
to
pay
for
two
cattle
and
provide
money
before
we
were
allowed
to
continue
work,”
–
Mr
Mahama
explained.
