Kumasi (Ashanti Region) 27 July ’99
The sod was cut on Sunday for work to begin on the rehabilitation of the 1.2-kilometre Anwomaso-Oduom feeder road in the Kumasi Metropolis.
The chief and people of Anwomaso are financing the self-initiated project, estimated at 180 million cedis. Each member of the local landlords association is contributing 500,000 cedis.
Nana Osei Boa II, Anwomasohene, appealed to the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) authorities to fulfil its agreement with the community, which provided land for the establishment of the University to assist in the road project.
He explained that before the land in Anwomaso was released to the KNUST free of charge, it was agreed that the KNUST would assist the community in its developmental effort but this has not been fulfilled.
