The Ministry of Roads and Highways is set to recruit 137 new staff across five agencies in 2026, including the Departments of Feeder Roads, Urban Roads, Highways, and two other related agencies.
Chairman of the Roads and Transport Committee, Isaac Adjei Mensah, made the announcement while moving a motion for the adoption of the Committee’s report, which sought approval of GH₵5.37 billion for the ministry.
He said the recruitment drive is essential to strengthen the ministry’s workforce, particularly for the implementation of the government’s Big Push project.
Mr. Mensah noted that the committee identified significant staffing gaps across several departments, including Feeder Roads, Urban Roads, Highways, Road Fronts, and the Koforidua section.
“In this budget, the ministry has decided to engage a reasonable number of personnel to fill these gaps. About 137 positions will be filled this year, and we believe it is something we need to support,” he said.
