Former Member of Parliament for Odododiodio, Edwin Nii Lantey Vanderpuye has been appointed the National Coordinator for the District Road Improvement Programme (DRIP).
His appointment places him at the forefront of enhancing road infrastructure across Ghana, a crucial sector for national development.
DRIP, launched in July 2024 by former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, aims to improve road networks in all 275 constituencies.
The initiative provides Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Assemblies (MMDAs) with the resources and machinery needed for effective road maintenance and construction.
With a focus on decentralizing infrastructure development, the programme empowers local authorities to undertake essential road projects efficiently and transparently.
As National Coordinator, he will oversee the implementation of DRIP, collaborating with key stakeholders to ensure its success.
