Dadiase-Nkwanta road rehabilitation to boost cross-border trade
Dadiase-Nkwanta road rehabilitation works are underway on the feeder road linking Nkwanta township to Dadiase, a farming community in the Oti Region. The current intervention involves reshaping and gravelling the route to make it motorable for commuters and other road users. Geoffrey Kini, the Member of Parliament for the area, expressed concern over years of neglect of the road.
The road serves as a key link between Ghana and the Togo border, facilitating trade activities, particularly for farmers and traders from Togo who travel to Nkwanta to sell their produce. Residents of Nkwanta also rely heavily on supplies from across the border, including tomatoes, garden eggs, pepper, and other cash crops largely produced by women farmers. Prosper Akamani, the NDC Constituency Chairman, together with the Assembly Member, welcomed the rehabilitation project and commended the MP and the assembly for the intervention. They described the road as vital to commercial activities between Ghana and neighboring countries, noting that its poor condition had been a major challenge for residents of Dadiase. After the rehabilitation works, government is expected to take further steps to extend the road connection to the border post.
