President John Dramani Mahama and the Minister for Roads and Highways, Hon. Kwame Governs Agbodza, have showered praises on First Sky Construction Company, a subsidiary of First Sky Group Limited, describing it as one of Ghana\u2019s most exceptional contractors delivering quality infrastructure.<\/p>\n

The commendation came during the sod-cutting ceremony at Tritrinu in the Volta Region for the redevelopment of the Atimpoku\u2013Asikuma\u2013Anyirawase\u2013Ho\u2013Denu\u2013Aflao Road, a major project under the government\u2019s flagship Big Push initiative.<\/p>\n

President Mahama highlighted the company\u2019s consistency and track record, noting that First Sky\u2019s professionalism and commitment to excellence have distinguished it as one of the most trusted Ghanaian contractors in the road sector. <\/p>\n

He assured Ghanaians that with First Sky leading aspects of the project, communities can expect high standards and timely delivery.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cFirst Sky is not new to Ghanaians. They have been working in this country for years, and everybody knows the quality of their work. Once they are on this road, we can be confident of a good job. It is in their interest as well, because they have investments along this stretch, and they know that excellence is the only way forward,\u201d the President stated.<\/p>\n

\"President<\/figure>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The Roads and Highways Minister, Hon. Kwame Governs Agbodza, also praised First Sky for setting an enviable benchmark in Ghana\u2019s construction industry. He encouraged other contractors to emulate the company\u2019s professionalism, integrity, and commitment to mentoring young engineers.<\/p>\n

Mr. Agbodza further announced new measures aimed at ensuring transparency and accountability in road project execution. Going forward, he said, the Ministry will publicly disclose not only the contractors awarded projects but also the beneficial owners of such companies.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cIf you do a good job, everyone, including your church members and community, will know you are a contractor of integrity. If you do a bad job, we will hold you accountable. That is why every contractor must now take proper insurance to ensure defective work is corrected at no cost to the state,\u201d the Minister emphasized.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

He also linked the Big Push project to the government\u2019s 24-hour economy agenda, urging contractors to create opportunities for young graduates in civil engineering and construction management. By taking on new graduates as mentees, he said, contractors like First Sky could play a critical role in building Ghana\u2019s next generation of engineers.<\/p>\n

The redevelopment of the Atimpoku\u2013Asikuma\u2013Anyirawase\u2013Ho\u2013Denu\u2013Aflao road is expected to transform transportation across the Volta Region and beyond, improving connectivity, trade, and economic activity.<\/p>\n

With First Sky Construction at the forefront, both President Mahama and the Roads Minister expressed confidence that the project will not only meet expectations but also reaffirm the capacity of Ghanaian contractors to deliver at world-class standards.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
