The Minister of Roads and Highways, Kwame Governs Agbodza, has revealed that 70 percent of contractors executing road projects across the country are Ghanaian firms.

He said local contractors are responsible for the majority of ongoing works and noted that many of them have strong financial capacity to deliver on major infrastructure projects.

Speaking on Channel One TV’s The Point of View with Bernard Avle on Monday, November 24, Mr. Agbodza stated, “The majority of road contractors are Ghanaians. 70% of the top road contractors are Ghanaians.”
