Responding to the concerns, the Minister for Roads and Highways, Hon. Kwame Governs Agbodza, acknowledged that the Lagos Town inner roads project has not yet been included in the government’s current work programme.

However, he disclosed that engineering studies and design works for the roads have already been completed, positioning the project for consideration once funding becomes available.

The Minister further noted that discussions have been ongoing with the Effia MP regarding road development in the constituency and commended Hon. Boamah-Nyarko’s commitment to securing improved infrastructure for his constituents.

According to the MP, Effia’s inner road network spans more than 10 kilometres, making road construction and rehabilitation a critical necessity for economic activity, transportation, and community growth.

Hon. Boamah-Nyarko emphasized that improving road infrastructure remains one of his top priorities and pledged to continue engaging the government until the affected roads receive the attention they deserve.

The renewed appeal comes amid growing calls from residents for improved road networks to ease transportation challenges and support development across the constituency.
