Government is mobilising US$2 billion towards the development of railway infrastructure and services, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has said.
Delivering a message on the state of the nation to Parliament yesterday, the President said government has rehabilitated a section of the narrow-gauge western line from Kojokrom to Tarkwa through Nsuta.
This, he said, will facilitate the haulage of manganese from Nsuta to the Takoradi Port, and also to provide a passenger rail service along the corridor.
The President pointed out that construction is ongoing on a new standard gauge line from Kojokrom through Eshiem to Manso.
