Akosua Asaa Manu, popularly known as Kozie, and the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) parliamentary candidate for the Adentan constituency, has successfully commissioned two vital infrastructure projects to improve the lives of her constituents.
These projects, a newly constructed road at Lakeside Container and a reconstructed footbridge at Amanfrom Zongo, were funded through her personal resources and some partners in and out of the constituency to address long-standing challenges faced by the community.
The Lakeside Container Road, previously plagued by muddy and impassable conditions, has now been transformed, bringing immense relief to residents who struggled to use the route, especially during the rainy season.
The road project has been hailed as a significant improvement for the area, easing transportation for the many people who commute daily.
The second project, a footbridge linking the Zongo community, has replaced a dilapidated structure that had become a death trap.
Residents shared how the old bridge forced them to take longer, alternative routes to avoid the danger of falling into the large gutter it crossed. With the new footbridge, Kozie has restored safety and convenience, much to the gratitude of the community.
Speaking during the commissioning, Akosua Manu who also serves as the Deputy CEO in charge of Administration and Finance at the National Youth Authority, reaffirmed her commitment to the development of the Adentan constituency. She explained that her interventions were driven by her passion for community service rather than political gains.
“I constructed the bridge not because of votes or to check if the residents here support the NPP, but because it was heartbreaking to see people using such a dangerous bridge,” she remarked.
Residents expressed their heartfelt appreciation, noting the positive impact the projects have already made in their daily lives. Many praised her leadership, highlighting her ability to identify critical needs and act decisively to address them.
Kozie also addressed concerns about the absence of the sitting Member of Parliament, suggesting that her numerous initiatives were fulfilling roles that ought to have been tackled with the MP’s common fund. She urged residents to remember her dedication to their welfare as they cast their votes in the upcoming elections.
“My focus is on improving the lives of the people in this constituency. I believe in bringing development to the doorstep of every resident, regardless of their political affiliation,” she added, urging constituents to vote massively for both herself and the NPP’s presidential candidate, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
These projects are part of Kozie’s broader campaign to transform the Adentan constituency. Her dedication to solving pressing issues and her ability to deliver meaningful change have solidified her reputation as a leader poised to make a significant impact in the lives of her constituents.
