Akim Oda, July 20 GNA – Commercial activities at Akim Oda is gradually grinding to a halt as a result of the bad nature of the Akim Oda-Nkawkaw road which has been worsened by recent downpours.
On Monday, a portion of the road linking Birim North and South districts became so bad that vehicles carrying traders to the Akim Oda market got stuck in the mud.
The stranded traders had no alternative than to get down from their vehicles and walk through the mud with some falling down in the process.
The traders hired porters who conveyed their wares from the vehicles to the other end of the road before being able to make the journey to the Akim Oda market.
This situation also prevented day students of the Oda secondary school staying at Akim Oda from attending classes as their school bus could not make it through the mud.
Meanwhile the Akim Oda branch executive officers of the Ghana Private Road Transport Union who were at the scene have appealed to the government, as a matter of urgency, to rehabilitate the road to save the two districts from being cut off from the rest of the country.
