The GH¢3.2 billion budget for the Ministry of Roads and Highways for 2025 was approved by Parliament on Tuesday.
Major infrastructure projects and enhancements to the nation’s transportation system are anticipated to be fueled by the substantial budget.
Reports state that in order to fill the void left by the creation of new regions and regional offices, the Ministry’s Ghana Highway Authority intends to hire 137 additional employees.
The Ministry’s decentralization attempts to improve operations include this action.
The Ministry has laid out bold plans to dualize and enhance safety on the nation’s main thoroughfares.
The nation’s transportation infrastructure will also be significantly improved by the anticipated continuation of the four by-passes being built at Osino, Anyinam, Enyiresi, and Konongo on the Accra-Kumasi Highway.
On Tuesday, March 11, under the topic “Resetting Ghana for the Economy We Want,” Finance Minister Dr. Caasiel Ato Forson gave Parliament a presentation of the government’s 2025 Budget Statement and Economic Policy.
Following the remarks of the Majority and Minority Leaders, the budget discussion period ended on Tuesday, March 25, 2025.
