The government's commitment to improving road infrastructure and providing citizens with safer and more effective transportation is demonstrated by this large expenditure.


Drivers have long been concerned about potholes because they can be uncomfortable, damage vehicles, and present safety risks. By mending and restoring road surfaces, the GH₵150 million fund seeks to systematically address this issue and raise the general standard of the nation's road system.


The program is being launched at a critical juncture, as the public has been calling for immediate action to address the declining condition of the roadways. The allotted monies will be carefully distributed, with a focus on major highways, metropolitan roads, and important transportation routes, to locations that have been identified as being prone to potholes.


The Department of Urban Roads will start routine pothole filling operations on important roads, taking advantage of the ideal dry season circumstances, according to an official statement from the Ministry.


The announcement stated that the sum was released to the Ministry of Roads and Highways in the first quarter by the Ministry of Finance.


The public was invited to cooperate with the Ministry of Roads and Highways, which reassured them of its commitment to fixing all road network issues nationwide.
