The Ministry of Roads and Highways has announced the suspension of the implementation of the National Roads Authority Act 2024 (Act 1118).
The ministry in a statement on February 7, 2025 said the decision is to allow for further stakeholder engagement on the Act.
In July 2024, Parliament passed the Act aimed to streamline Ghana’s road infrastructure management by merging the Ghana Highway Authority, the Department of Urban Roads, and the Department of Feeder Roads into a unified structure for better coordination.
The Ministry reassured the public of its commitment to improving efficiency in the road sector while addressing concerns from stakeholders.
“The decision to suspend the implementation of the NRA Act is a result of the Government’s commitment to addressing major concerns raised by key stakeholders. The Ministry reassures the public of its commitment to streamlining operations and enhancing coordination in the road sector,” the statement read.
