Over the past three months, he has cut sod for major road works in the Greater Accra, Volta and Upper West Regions, all under the Big Push programme aimed at accelerating infrastructure development.<\/p>\n<p>President Mahama has repeatedly stated that the scale and structure of the plan will deliver major improvements quickly. He has said he is confident that \u201cGhana will, in the next two years, have the best roads in West Africa\u201d thanks to the initiative.<\/p>\n<p>Explaining how the projects have been designed to ensure fast delivery, the President said the contracts were structured to avoid long delays. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Big Push projects have been allocated in such a way that no contractor will take 24 months to complete. Because we haven\u2019t given any contractor too long a stretch that will take him too much time. We\u2019ve broken it up into pieces so that every contractor can work quickly, and then they join their portions together.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/sotnews.agency\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/JM-MONITOR.mp3\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n<p>President Mahama also appealed to the public for patience as construction intensifies nationwide. \u201cLet me apologise to Ghanaians, from the launch of this Big Push here, the whole of Ghana is going to become a construction site. So bear with the contractors, but know that we are suffering to gain.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He noted that monitoring will be strict and continuous to ensure contractors deliver on schedule. \u201cWe\u2019re going to keep monitoring the progress of all the projects. So they will visit the projects regularly from time to time at every stage to see the status of the projects. They will take pictures, they will take videos.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The President added he will personally track the work from his office. \u201cI\u2019ll be sitting in my office, and I can see what First Sky is doing on the Ho\u2013Aflao road. I can see what Oswal is doing on the Afienya\u2013Dodowa road. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery contractor working on every road in this country. I\u2019ll sit in Accra at the Flagstaff House, and I\u2019ll see the work they are doing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n        <div class=\"booster-block booster-reactions-block\">\n            <div
