Kumasi Mayor Urges Cooperation As Santase-Asokwa Dualisation Project Takes Off

The Mayor of Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly, Hon. Richard Ofori Boadi, popularly known as “King Zuba”, has called on residents and business operators along the Santase Roundabout to Asokwa stretch to cooperate fully with contractors working on the road dualisation project.

Inspecting the site, Hon. Ofori Boadi said the project is aimed at providing a modern, motorable road network that will ease traffic congestion in the city and create a more conducive environment for business growth.

According to the Mayor, the Government of Ghana has awarded the contract to JOSOP Construction Limited, which has begun preliminary works including grand reshaping of the corridor in preparation for full construction.

He urged traders, drivers, and residents in the area to exercise patience and give the contractor the needed space and support to meet the project timeline.

“This dualisation is not just about asphalt. It’s about reducing travel time, cutting vehicle maintenance costs, and improving commerce in Kumasi. We all need to support the contractor so the work can be completed on schedule,” he

said.
