The Minister for Roads and Highways, Kwame Governs Agbodza, has ordered the Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Highways Authority, Mallam Issah Ishak, to begin the process of terminating the contract of Black Oak, the contractor working on the Bogoso–Prestea Road.
The contract was awarded in 2025, but the contractor only mobilised to the site in March 2026.
After clearing the sides of the road, they abandoned the site, claiming they did not have the road’s design.
According to the Regional Highways Engineer, less than two percent of the work has been completed.
During an inspection of the Big Push projects in the Western Region, Minister Agbodza stated that although this road was not part of the Big Push, it was a priority project for the government, and they would not allow the contractor to delay the project.

People have been playing Subway Surfers for a long time, so it’s more than just a game. It’s fun to play, has cool characters, and action that never stops, so you can pass the time whether you’re trying to get the highest score or fighting against people around the world.
Customizing city planner avatars on Mii Maker is a fun way to model smooth traffic, but real-world infrastructure demands accountability and strict deadlines.
Bad roads aren’t just an inconvenience; they cause terrible accidents. At this rate, the only business Black Oak’s delays are helping is a local Crutches Manufacturer.
It’s disheartening to see contracts terminated without considering the broader implications for employment and local communities. During my time in project management, I’ve noticed that sometimes a little flexibility can lead to great outcomes. Maybe exploring alternative solutions rather than outright termination could pave the way for better projects.
