A/R: Sokoban Wood village residents demonstrate over bad roads (Photos)
Some Industrial players, motorist and commuters plying the Asokwa industrial area and Sokoban Wood village road have disclosed that the deplorable state of the road is constantly affecting productivity.
According to them, the poor nature of road networks in the industrial area have increased production cost forcing them to lay off workers.
Some business owners at Sokoban Wood village in an interview with OTEC News Kwame Agyenim Boateng on Tuesday December 21, 2021, said commuting within main roads and other linking roads in the industrial area has become very difficult due to challenges to route access.
They have thus increased their campaign to get authorities to fix portions of the road that has deteriorated.
Mr Kofi Owusu, a business man at Sokoban-Wood Village explained that, the campaign had intensified because their cargo cars have been felling as a result of the poor road.
“Honestly industrial players and residents in the Asokwa and Sokoban enclave are unhappy about about bad condition of the roads”
“We have recorded several accidents in the past months leading to loss of lives and properties”.he added.
Another business man who unanimously spoke to OTEC News said most of their customers have stopped patronizing their Wares because the situation caused inconveniences to them when they ply the road.
They have thus appealed to the Ashant Regional Minister, the Ghan Highway Authority, Urban Roads and other stakeholders to step up efforts to improve condition of the roads
