THE government is to construct the 2.70 kilometre road from Bonyere Junction to Bonyere township in the Jomoro District in the Western Region at a cost of GH¢1.4 million.
It will also construct the 2.15 kilometre road from Ezinlibo Junction to Ezinlibo township at a cost of GH¢5,400.
The District Chief Executive for Jomoro, Mr Martin Yamekeh Ackah, announced these when he visited Bonyere and Ezinlibo to interact with the people in the two communities.
He said Bonyere would also benefit from the European Union (EU) water project.
Mr Ackah, therefore, urged the people to pay their contribution of five per cent of the total cost of the project for it to take off soon.
He said a police station under construction at Bonyere would be completed soon for inauguration.
Mr Ackah made it clear to the people that the government was doing everything possible to develop the deprived communities.
He urged the people, especially parents to take advantage of the Capitation Grant, the School Feeding Programme and the President’s Special Initiative on Distance Learning to send their children of school age to school.
Mr Ackah advised them to register with the National Health Insurance Scheme for them to enjoy free medical care.
The DCE also asked the unemployed youth in the area to take full advantage of the National Youth Employment Programme in order to earn some income.
He presented 1,500 pieces of energy saving bulbs to the people of Bonyere and 150 exercise books to the Bonyere Methodist Junior High School on behalf of the Jomoro District Assembly.
He also donated 700 pieces of energy saving bulbs to the people of Ezinlibo and 150 exercise books to the Ezinlibo District Council Junior High School.
The Safohene of Ezinlibo, Mr Nelson Yankey, on behalf of the chiefs and people, appealed to the Jomoro District Assembly to provide the town with toilet facilities, additional electricity poles and good drinking water.
