The Minister for Roads and Highways, Kwame Agbodza, has confirmed that major road projects previously affected by Ghana’s Domestic Debt Exchange Programme (DDEP) are now being resumed, following the near completion of the country’s debt restructuring exercise.
Speaking on Citi FM on Monday, January 5, the minister explained that several critical infrastructure projects had been stalled under the previous administration due to financial constraints linked to the debt exchange.
He cited the Pokuase–Amasaman road and other key roads across the country as examples of works now being reactivated.
“We are almost 100 per cent through with the debt restructuring. So, almost all the roads that were stalled because of the debt restructuring are now being reactivated,” Mr. Agbodza said, highlighting the government’s progress in resolving the funding challenges that had delayed these projects.
He further noted that even special projects financed under external arrangements, such as those by Sinohydro, had been addressed.
“Even the Sinohydro projects that were stalled, like the interchange in Takoradi, have all been resolved, and we are in the final stages. If the contractors want to go to the site today, they can do that,” he added, signalling a renewed focus on completing stalled infrastructure nationwide.

Christians have been urged to demonstrate a living faith in Jesus Christ by allowing their confession of Him as Lord and Saviour to reflect in their daily lives.
According to the Kaneshie District Pastor of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana (EPCG), Rev. Dzidzor Nathaniel Affram, a genuine Christian’s confession should go beyond words and be demonstrated through obedience to God, love for others and service to the Church.
He made the call at the 40th anniversary remembrance service for the late Wesley Kwasi Kwadzo at the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana, Maranatha Congregation at Awudome Avenui in the Volta Region.
Speaking on the theme, “The Church Built on a Living Confession,” Rev. Affram said life would continually present challenges capable of testing Christians’ faith, making it necessary for believers to hold firmly to their confession that Jesus Christ is Lord.
He explained that accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour required Christians to live according to His teachings, stressing that their faith must be evident in their conduct.
“A living confession listens to God and not man,” he said, urging Christians to remain obedient to God even when faced with difficulties and pressures.
Rev. Affram further encouraged the congregation to care for vulnerable people and demonstrate concern for others, adding that such acts were practical expressions of Christian faith.
He also urged Christians to identify and use their God-given gifts to build the Church.
He said every member of the Church had a role to play and cautioned Christians against looking down on others because of their status or abilities.
The remembrance service brought together family members, friends, members of the congregation and sympathisers to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the late Wesley Kwasi Kwadzo.
