The Chief of Ayawaso, Nii Tettey Kodzo II and his traditional elders have paid a working visit to the ongoing Pokuase Interchange project to acquaint themselves with progress of work.
The Resident Engineer of the project, Mr Kwabena Bempong, who welcomed the chief and his entourage on site, said the 4-tier interchange when completed next year, was expected to reduce traffic congestion on the Ofankor-John Teye –Amasaman stretch of the Accra-Nsawam highway.
He said the project which was started two years ago was about 78 per cent complete, saying hopefully the project be completed by the first quarter of 2021.
The resident engineer explained that work on access roads linking the interchange was almost been completed to ensure smooth movement of motorists and other road users.
Mr Bempong indicated that the challenges they initially encountered such as the acquisition of properties, provision of electricity, removal of overhead cables among others were now a thing of the past.
Nii Tettey Kodzo II, in response, commended the government for the mega project being undertaken to reduce travelling time and long hours sitting in traffic.
He said they have sent a letter of petition to the President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, that the interchange when completed, should be named after Nii Ayi Kushi, the first king and founder of the Ga Adangme State on which the project was located.
According to him, Nii Ayi Kushi was not only a traditional ruler for his people, but also as founder of the Ga Adangme State, he played a critical role in the political, economic and social development of the Gold Coast.
“Yet nothing was done in honour of our Great King,” he said, stressing that we pray that President Akufo-Addo honour this great traditional ruler of blessed memory.
Nii Tettey Kodzo II, commended the residential engineer and his construction team for the good work they have done so far and was very much impressed with the huge engineering edifice.

The Tema Regional Police Command has arrested a 32-year-old man for allegedly posing as a soldier and extorting money from unsuspecting members of the public at Ashaiman.
The suspect, identified as Bright Atsu Kudiabor, was arrested by the Ashaiman Police on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at about 7:00 a.m.
According to the Police, he was arrested at an area known as “I Shall Return”, where he was allegedly parading himself as a soldier and demanding money from people.
The Police said Kudiabor, who is an ex-convict, was initially arrested by personnel of the Ghana National Fire Service in Ashaiman with assistance from other members of the public.
A search conducted on him after he was handed over to the Police reportedly led to the recovery of a set of military camouflage uniform.
The suspect is currently in Police custody and assisting with investigations.
The Tema Regional Police Command said he would be processed for court after investigations are completed.
The Police urged the public to remain vigilant and report anyone who falsely presents themselves as a soldier or a member of another security agency to deceive or extort money from the public.

Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, says the Volta Region holds enormous agricultural potential and efforts must be geared towards connecting farmers to the needed resources to unlock that potential.
He said focus must be on linking farmers to resources, technology, financing and markets to increase production, create jobs and build sustainable livelihoods.
Hon. Gunu made the remarks at the national launch of the Ghana Tomato Self-Sufficiency Initiative (GHATSI) held at Anloga in the Volta Region on Tuesday, September 15.
The initiative, under the theme “Produce at Home. Feed the Nation. Export the Surplus,” seeks to boost local tomato production, processing and marketing while reducing Ghana’s heavy reliance on imported tomatoes.
The launch was attended by the Minister for Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, his Deputy, John Setor Dumelo, Feed Ghana Coordinator, Bright Demordzi, Members of Parliament, traditional leaders, MMDCEs, farmers and other stakeholders.
Mr.Gunu expressed appreciation to the Minister for Food and Agriculture for the support announced for the region, including two excavators, 200 cartons of organic fertiliser, and GH¢200,000 for Ms. Kuatudzo Esther Dela, a tomato farmer and processor from Ziope.
He described the initiative as an important step towards making agriculture a stronger driver of food security, job creation and economic growth in the Volta Region.
