The Minister for Roads and Highways, Kwame Governs Agbodza, has instructed the Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Highways Authority, Mallam Issah Ishak, to terminate a contract between the government and Black Oak, a construction firm working on the Bogoso–Prestea Road.
The contract was awarded in 2025, but the contractor only mobilised to the site in March 2026, according to evidence on the ground.
After clearing the sides of the road, the contractor reportedly abandoned the site, citing the absence of project designs.
According to the Regional Highways Engineer, less than two per cent of the work has been completed.
During an inspection of the Big Push projects in the Western Region, Mr Agbodza said that although the road is not part of the Big Push programme, it remains a government priority and delays will not be tolerated.
He therefore directed the Highways Authority to begin the process of terminating the contract with Black Oak over delays on the Bogoso–Prestea Road project.
