CONSTRUCTION work on the Eastern corridor road which passes through Asikuma to Damanko in the Volta Region will begin in September, this year.
The project is in fulfilment of an election promise made by the National Democratic Congress government (NDC).
The Volta Regional Minister, Mr Joseph Amenowode said this when he addressed the first ordinary meeting of the Hohoe Municipal Assembly at Hohoe last Wednesday.
He gave the assurance that all pre-election promises the government made to the people in the region would be fulfilled.
Mr Amenowode mentioned some of the promises as the tarring of the Tafi Mador-Kpando Kudgra, Legba Atome-Vakpo Fu and Ve Deme-Leklebi Dafor roads, adding that the “Alavanyo-Nkonya road which is a unification road, would also be tarred”.
He gave the assurance that the Hohoe town roads including the one leading to the Hohoe Evangelical Presbyterian Senior High School as well as those going to the food growing areas, such as Ayoma, Baika and Likpe would all receive attention.
Mr Amenowode said the road projects were part of the vision of making the Volta Region the best place to visit since it was the only unique region that had all the ethnic groups as well as the forefront of the country's community-based eco-tourism destinations.
“People in authority should be highly accountable for every pesewa entrusted to them to facilitate the development process of the region,” he said.
The regional minister commended the Hohoe Municipal Assembly for being among the six districts out of the 18 in the region to reach the assessment criteria to assess the District Assemblies Development Fund.
"For this laudable achievements, you are to benefit from a grant of $400,000,” he said.
Mr Amenowode charged the people in the municipality to make education their priority, stressing that the authorities find ways of discouraging schoolchildren from patronising video shows during school hours.
