The Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for Atwima Nwabiagya South, Hon. Wisdom Osei Boamah, says his administration has made significant progress in improving infrastructure and social services since he assumed office.
According to him, the municipality has seen major developments in roads, education, health, water, and sanitation.
Speaking on the ongoing transformation, the MCE highlighted the extensive road works undertaken across the municipality.
He noted that 19 kilometres of road from through 19 Junction to Akwiapen have been reshaped, with contractors currently on site to tar the stretch within the year.
Additionally, the 5.5-kilometre Atwima Agogo–Maakro to Twedie road has been reshaped twice to enhance accessibility.
Other reshaped roads include the Abuakwa Housing link road to Kumasi and the Abuakwa Kenya road.
Hon. Boamah also addressed the long-standing issue of flooding in the municipality.
He explained that previous flooding incidents were caused by choked bridges and drainage systems.
However, through the use of heavy dredging machines, the assembly successfully cleared major gutters and drains last year, bringing an end to the persistent flooding challenges.
On education, the MCE revealed that funds from the District Common Fund have been allocated to support infrastructure development in Amoabeng, Bankyease, and Abuakwa Division schools. All projects are expected to be completed within six months.
He further announced that the assembly has signed a five-year Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with WASH to construct modern toilet facilities for selected schools. Beneficiary schools so far include Kufuor Experimental, Sepase, Nerebehi, and Abuakwa Manhyia.
The partnership has also delivered mechanized boreholes for schools and surrounding communities.
In the health sector, Hon. Boamah stated that new health facilities are being constructed at Atwima Agogo and Mim Garages, with completion expected in six months.
The municipality is also constructing a modern slaughterhouse at Nkawie, set to be completed within three months to improve public health and meat inspection services.
Touching on sanitation, he disclosed that the assembly continues to organize periodic cleanup exercises, while also constructing twenty mechanized boreholes across various communities, all scheduled for completion within six months.
The MCE reaffirmed the Assembly’s commitment to sustaining development and improving the quality of life for residents, emphasizing that these projects reflect the government’s broader vision for community transformation.
