The Government of Ghana is leaving no stone unturned in restoring life at Apiate, a suburb of Bogoso, where an explosion occurred on Thursday, January 20, 2022.
Part of the destruction caused by the massive blast that occurred when a vehicle transporting mining explosives collided with a motorbike and a tricycle was the damage to portions of the highway in the town.
