Road tolls must return to improve road infrastructure – Bawumia

Flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has stated that Ghana must introduce a broad-based road toll system to improve road infrastructure in the country.

According to the NPP’s 2024 presidential candidate, the government alone cannot fund road projects in Ghana, emphasising private sector participation.

In 2022, the NPP government made the decision to abolish road tolls in a bid to ease traffic congestion on major roads, and the Vice President, who was touring the Volta Region, said a broadened reintroduction of the tolling regime would provide the needed revenue for infrastructure development.
