What do you believe is the single most important factor driving up the cost of living in Nigeria?

The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the National Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme (NEIP), Kofi Ofosu Nkansah, has clarified that the redesigning and expansion of the Kasoa-Winneba Highway is fully funded by the Ghanaian government, not by ECOWAS as some have claimed.

The project, which includes the construction of flyovers at key junctions such as Sapato, Big Apple in Buduburam, Awutu Breku, and Akoti Junction, aims to improve vehicular traffic flow. The scope of the project also includes the finalization of the road to ensure smooth transportation.

Currently, work on lot one of the project, which stretches from Sapato to Akoti Junction, is reported to be 45% complete.

The contractor attributed the delays to a significant underground rock at the Buduburam site, where an interchange is to be constructed.

Engineers working on the second phase of the project, from Akoti to Winneba, have faced delays due to some buildings still occupying the project zone.
