Gomoa-Sampa community supports road rehabilitation

The Chiefs and people of Gomoa-Sampa in the Central Region, have embarked on intensive communal duty, to clear bushes along the roads linking the town and nearby communities.

The movement is intended to supplement efforts by the Government to rehabilitate the facilities.

Nana Twumasi Owuyaah III, Tufohene of Gomoa-Sampa disclosed this in an interview with the Ghana News Agency, after leading the people in one of such organised communal work on the Gomoa-Sampa-Gomoa-Brofo link road.

Nana Owuyaa said the exercise would assist contractors implementing the rehabilitation works on the road to maintain the original tracks, thus meeting the expectation of the people.

He said the people wholeheartedly executed the programme in the interest of national development.

He appealed to contractors charged with the responsibility to reshape various feeder roads in the country to strive to perform credible duties.

Nana Owuyaah said that when roads linking the urban towns and rural communities are properly reconditioned, it would encourage and inspire farmers to intensify their activities to raise food production to feed the nation.

He added that besides that, provision of first class feeder roads would go a long way to improve the general health status of the farmers, since trained health workers could be transported to the rural towns and villages at any given time without any difficulty.

Nana Owuyaah praised residents of Gomoa-Sampa citizens at home who accepted the call to participate in the communal duties fir their love and commitment for national goals.
