Juabenhene & former Council of State Chairman backs 'Big Push', clears hurdle for Kumasi outer ring road
Juabenhene Nana Otuo Siriboe II, former Chairman of the Council of State, backed the 'Big Push' and cleared a hurdle for the Kumasi Outer Ring Road at a solemn ceremony held along the designated route in Juaben. Traditional authorities, acting under his instruction and direction, performed sacred rites to clear the way for construction works under government's Big Push programme. The ceremony involved the slaughtering of sheep and the pouring of libation to rivers and deities believed to inhabit the land.
The rites formally permit contractors to undertake construction activities without restriction, including working on traditionally sacred days and during night hours. The event brought together chiefs and courtiers of the Juaben Traditional Area, including Nana Obugya Asante III, Asuminamhene of Juaben, alongside contractors working on the project and officials from the Urban Roads Department. The Kumasi Outer Ring Road is a strategic component of the Big Push infrastructure agenda, expected to ease congestion within the Kumasi metropolis and improve connectivity across key economic corridors.
With the spiritual and traditional hurdle now cleared, construction along the Juaben section is expected to proceed without interruption, reinforcing government's commitment to delivering transformative infrastructure on schedule.
