Top International Engineering responds to Agbodza over delays on Enchi-Elubo road project

Top International Engineering (GH) Limited responded to concerns raised by the Minister for Roads and Highways, Kwame Governs Agbodza, over the slow pace of work on the Enchi-Elubo Road project. The company assured the government and the public of its commitment to completing the project. The company acknowledged the minister's concerns and expressed appreciation for the continued oversight and engagement by the Ministry of Roads and Highways and the Ghana Highway Authority.

The response followed criticism from Kwame Governs Agbodza during an inspection tour of the project on Tuesday, May 12. Mr. Agbodza directed the contractor to appear before the Ghana Highway Authority within one week over delays and the slow pace of work on the 71.25-kilometre road corridor. Mr. Agbodza expressed disappointment with the project's progress, revealing that only about 5% of the work had been completed since December 1, 2025. The government would have terminated the contract immediately if not for the substantial mobilisation payment already made to the contractor. The contractor had already received an advance mobilisation payment of GH¢80.2 million. In a statement on Wednesday, May 13, the company said, "As a responsible contractor committed to national development, the company appreciates the continued oversight, guidance, and engagement of the Ministry of Roads and Highways and the Ghana Highway Authority in ensuring the successful execution of this important infrastructure project."

Top International Engineering confirmed that it would honour the directive to appear before the Ghana Highway Authority to engage further on the project. The company stated, "The company will honour the directive to appear before the Ghana Highway Authority and looks forward to constructive engagements that will strengthen coordination and facilitate the successful completion of the project."
