In an interview with Ghanadistricts.com, Mr. Atiku said the current states of roads in the Sissala enclave are nothing to write home about despite their contributions to the Country’s economy and he wants the government through its recent District Road Improvement Programme, to enhance the road for them.

It would be recalled that the government launched its District Road Improvement Programme (DRIP) which seeks to enhance Ghana’s road network by decentralizing road infrastructure development.

This program seeks to address the challenges faced by Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Assemblies (MMDAs) across the country.

Mr. Issaka Atiku emphasized that, the Sissala area, known for its agricultural productivity, particularly in corn production, stands as a proof to the potential that remains available due to poor road infrastructure.

The current state of the roads in the area delays not only transportation of goods but the overall economic development of the Upper West Region.

He said the bad state of the road has made it nearly impossible for trucks to access the routes which force residents to rely on motorbikes and tricycles for transportation.
