The Member of Parliament for Sagnarigu Constituency, Hon. Attah Issah, has emphasized that the government’s ambitious infrastructure initiative, known as the Big Push, is fundamentally an economic corridor aimed at transforming Ghana’s development landscape.

Speaking on Radio Tamale’s “Be a Citizen and Not a Spectator” program with host Robicon Mornahson, Hon. Issah clarified that the project extends beyond mere road construction to a strategic national linkage.

The Big Push is not just a road project, he explained. It is an economic corridor. The idea is simple: we want to link the country.

He stressed that the initiative is structured around three major development zones— the Volta Basin, the Northern zone, and the Southern zone— to foster regional integration and economic growth.

Hon. Issah highlighted the superior quality of the roads being built under the program, describing them as unprecedented in Ghana.

When you observe the quality and texture of the Big Push roads, you will not find that type in Ghana, he said. These roads have seven layers. They are built to last and to carry economic activity.

The MP also pointed out the significance of the roads in the northern region, which form a vital part of the Northern Development Program. These roads are intended to connect farms directly to markets, thereby supporting agricultural growth and rural development.

He noted that every district in the region is benefiting from a 24-hour economy market, emphasizing that these developments are interconnected and part of a broader, world-class effort to develop Ghana.

Hon. Attah Issah concluded by noting that the ongoing construction across all regions signifies a nationwide push towards a more connected and prosperous Ghana.

All existing regions have been turned into construction sites, he said, reaffirming the government’s commitment to turning Ghana into a modern, economically vibrant nation through strategic infrastructure development.
