Minister of Roads and Highways Kwame Agbodza opened a 15‑member Board of Trustees for the Road Maintenance Trust Fund on Tuesday, charging the group with ensuring responsible management of the resources earmarked for the maintenance and rehabilitation of Ghana’s road network.
During the inauguration, Agbodza urged the trustees to demonstrate commitment, integrity and sound leadership in carrying out their responsibilities. He stressed the need for prudent resource management and sustainable maintenance practices to improve road conditions across the country.
Chairperson of the Board, Gabriel Opoku‑Asare, said an effective road maintenance system would be critical to the successful implementation of the government’s Reset Agenda. He assured that the Board would prioritise accountability, transparency and value for money in the discharge of its mandate.
The Board brings together professionals from engineering, law and civil society, whose varied expertise is expected to support its work. Opoku‑Asare also pledged to strengthen collaboration with relevant stakeholders and promote sustainable approaches to road maintenance in the public interest.
