The President Nana Akufo Addo has pledged to construct Akoti Junction to Senya Beraku Road in honour of the late Haruna Esseku  – a stalwart of the New Patriotic Party and former Minister for Transport in Prime Minister Kofi Abrefa Busia’s Progress Party Government of the 2nd Republic.

Akufo Addo said this Friday when he commissioned the APPEB Cyplinder Manufacturing Company Ltd., in Chochoe in the Awutu Senya West Constituency in the Central Region.

In paying tribute to the late Haruna Esseku, the President asked the gathering at the ceremony to observe “a minute’s silence in honour of the memory of a stalwart of the New Patriotic Party, Haruna Esseku, who was a former National Chairman of the party.

He also told the gathering that the Director of Communications at the Presidency, Mr. Eugene Arhin, “has done a very good job in lobbying persistently for this road to be constructed, just as he did for the Bawjiase-Kasoa road, and I assure you that it will be completed before 2024.”

President Akufo-Addo continued, “It is public knowledge that he has intentions of contesting on the ticket of the NPP in 2024. If he is successful in the NPP parliamentary primaries, Nananom, I am confident that he will do an excellent job as Member of Parliament for you, and I appeal to all of you to support him if and when that time comes. You have seen for yourselves what he is doing for Awutu Senya West.”

Prior to the commissioning of the cylinder manufacturing plant, the President cut the sod for the official commencement of construction of the Bawjiase-Kasoa road.

“Already, under the Akufo-Addo Government, we have completed the construction of the Bawjiase-Adeiso Road and the Bawjiase-Swedru Road, all in this constituency. The construction of a District Hospital, under Agenda 111, is also ongoing at Ahentia, not too far from here,” he added.
