The downpour cut out some parts of the Upper West Region leading to reduced mobility and consequently affecting the economic activities. When the bridge washed away, the regional minister, Dr. Hafiz Bin-Salih, went on a tour of the place to ascertain the extent of the damage. “I am heartbroken after our tour of the Upper West Region to ascertain the level of havoc on the roads as a result of the recent torrential rains. The devastation of the roads is widespread and intensive, we, therefore, need massive and timely intervention to restore the roads. I have informed the Minister of Roads and Highways about the state of our roads and we expect swift intervention from his ministry,” he wrote.
