Ghana Highway Authority should suspend works on roads in cocoa growing areas, that is a directive from the Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD)

The development comes as a result of the Board's quest to review the rationalization of each one of the project.

“This is to inform you that the Board of Directors of Ghana Cocoa Board had directive that work in connection with the above contracts be suspended with immediate effect,”
