Ghana’s government plans to invest $2 billion every year for the next five years to speed up infrastructure development nationwide through the Big Push Agenda. Alex Segbefia, Chief of Staff in the Office of the Vice President, announced this at the 2025 Agotime Kente Festival in the Volta Region. The initiative aims to boost productivity and drive growth in vital sectors like Education, Transportation, and Healthcare.
“We will ensure that infrastructure is capable of catering to our industries in a sustainable manner. Tourists, domestic or foreign, are more likely to visit a place when they know they can move around safely. That is just one benefit of the president’s Big Push Agenda,” Mr. Segbefia stated.
The plan involves channeling resources into schools, hospitals, and other key facilities, described as a “large-scale, ambitious development drive” to support national progress. Segbefia assured Agotime residents that the government is committed to solving the area’s long-standing water supply issues. Efforts are underway with the Community Water and Sanitation Agency to extend the Adidome Water Project to Agotime.
“The challenges you raised are already part of the government’s development agenda. We acknowledge that things are far from perfect, but we will not leave your concerns unanswered. Work is ongoing to connect Agotime to the Adidome Water Project,” he said.
Mr. Segbefia also highlighted the inauguration of a new board for the Ho Teaching Hospital, a strategic move to modernize healthcare and position Ghana as a hub for medical tourism.
