JICA To Build An Interchange In The Ashanti Region To Ease Congestion

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Hon. Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has announced that the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) has had discussions to embark on three projects, including building an interchange in the Ashanti Region to ease congestion.

Okudzeto Ablakwa made this comment in a post shared on his Facebook page on 2nd April, 2025. He wrote:

“Great bilateral engagement with Her Excellency Suzuki Momoko, Chief Representative of JICA in Ghana. Ghana and Japan have committed to three priority initiatives: 

1. Reviving the Volivo to Dorfor Adidome bridge project which will connect the Greater Accra, Volta and Eastern Regions;

2. An interchange in the Ashanti Region to ease congestion; 

3. Technical support to boost rice production in Ghana. “

He added that Ghana shall also be fully represented at TICAD 9 where we will explore more partnerships including scaling up our cocoa exports to Japan considering the ever increasing popular Japanese demand for Ghana Chocolate. 

Okudzeto concluded that the President Mahama’s government will continue to deepen Ghana -Japan cooperation as we honour the memory of Noguchi and many others.
