To this end, the Minister has announced that Ghana will soon launch its own electronic tolling system, with the ambitious goal of creating “the best road tolling system in Africa.”

“We are not settling for anything less than excellence,” he said, emphasizing the importance of innovation and expressing the government’s determination to overcome any doubt regarding the reintroduction of tolls.

Mr. Agbodza was speaking, today, during a courtesy call on him by the Turkish Ambassador to Ghana, H.E. Hüseyin Güngör, in Accra.

He noted that the Ministry is currently in the process of obtaining approval from the Public Procurement Authority (PPA) to select a transaction advisor.

“Transparency is a priority, and we welcome all capable organizations to participate in the selection process. We want the best technical and financial proposal that can make us operate a very sustainable tolling system,” he stated.

“My Ministry will keep the public informed about the progress of the tolling system’s development and the selection process for the transaction advisor. In a few days, the advertisement for the selection of the transaction advisor should be out. Together, we will pave the way for a brighter future in road infrastructure,’ he said

The discussions also touched on the potential for Turkish investors to invest in the development of the country’s road infrastructure through the government’s flagship programme “the Big Push.”

The Minister also highlighted the potential for technical cooperation between the two countries and invited Turkish engineers to share their expertise in tolling systems.

“We are ready to collaborate and learn from successful models, particularly those in Turkey that utilize technology instead of traditional toll booths. Our partnership could lay a strong foundation for Ghana’s new tolling system, ensuring it is both efficient and sustainable.”
