President Mahama discloses source of funding for ongoing 'Big Push' projects

President John Dramani Mahama has disclosed that every Big Push project currently underway across the country is being funded entirely with state resources.

According to him, Ghana has not borrowed money to finance the construction of these roads.

Speaking during his visit to the Bono Region as part of the Resetting Agenda Tour on Thursday, March 19, 2026, he explained that the country has sufficient funds to support the Big Push initiative without resorting to loans that would add further costs to the nation.

He also added that contractors have been instructed to expedite their work, complete their projects, and submit certificates of completion to enable prompt payment.

“Let it be known that all the roads we are constructing are being funded with our own resources. We have not borrowed any money to finance these projects.

“The Sunyani Outer Ring Road, for example, is being funded entirely from our own coffers. The money is available, and I have instructed every contractor to expedite their work, complete the roads, and submit their certificates for payment.

“Before I left Accra for the Bono Region, the finance minister remained in his office, signing off on certificates for some of these contractors so they can be paid promptly,” he said.
