FORMER MINISTER COMMENDS ROAD ENGINEER (PAGE 20)

THE immediate past Eastern Regional Minister, Mr Yaw Barimah, has praised the out-going New Juaben Municipal Roads Engineer, Mr Abass Awolu, for the able manner in which he handled the construction and rehabilitation of roads in the area.
He said Mr Awolu’s performance had put most of the roads in Koforidua and its adjoining suburbs in good shape to befit the city’s status as the capital and business hub of the region.
Mr Barimah made the commendation at a party organised by road contractors in the area in honour of Mr Abass and Mr Kobina Emim, the Municipal Roads Maintenance Engineer, who have been transferred to the Accra metropolis and the Obuasi municipality respectively.
The former regional minister stated that the ongoing Kassadjan road, with an overpass, which is being transformed from a single lane to a dual carriage way and supervised by Mr Awolu, when completed would further improve transportation in the municipality.
He expressed the hope that his successor would continue with his good works.
The New Juaben Municipal Chief Executive, Nana Adjei Boateng, and the Adahene of Koforidua, Odeefo Buadi Asiedu, praised Mr Awolu for his capability in contributing to the improvement of the road network in the municipality.
The Adahene described Mr Awolu as a genius in his profession.
Mr Awolu thanked the road contractors for their co-operation, and expressed the hope that they would extend it to whoever took over from him.
