The Ministry of Roads and Highways, led by Minister Kwame Governs Agbodza, has launched a government-sponsored training program to increase the number of skilled heavy equipment operators in Ghana. Announced on Monday, May 11, 2026, during a national road inspection tour, the initiative aims to address a critical labor shortage reported by contractors in the road construction sector.
Addressing a Critical Labor Shortage
For years, road construction firms have voiced concerns about the scarcity of qualified personnel capable of operating essential machinery. This new training program seeks to bridge that gap by equipping young Ghanaians with the necessary technical skills. The Ministry will fully fund the program in collaboration with its agencies.
