Governor Fubara gave the explanation after he inspected the 15.24 kilometers Emohua – Abalama -Tema Junction dual carriageway road project on Thursday.

The Governor said: “Is the Assembly quarters not part of my property? Is there anything wrong in going to check how things are going on there?

“You are aware of the developments. We have a new speaker, and I went there to see for my myself how things are. There might be a few things I might want to do there for the good of our people,” Governor Fubara said in acknowledging Oko-Jumbo as the new speaker of the house of Assembly.

He said, “As a matter of fact, we added this section of the road as one of the projects we will be commissioning. So, I needed to see it myself, and what is remaining is just the lighting. By the grace of God, we will commission it.”
