31 Road Construction Companies Reclassified

The Ministry of Roads and Highways has issued reclassification certificates to thirty-one road construction companies after they have been vetted and reclassified by the newly reconstituted Road Classification Committee.

Another thirty-nine companies have gone through the reclassification process awaiting the issuance of certificates by the Ministry.

It will be recalled that in September last year, the Minister for Roads and Highways, Hon. Kwasi Amoako-Attah, inaugurated a 9-member committee chaired by Ing. Dr Abass M. Awolu, Chief Director of the Ministry to grade road contractors into respective categories and financial classes.

Explaining the significance of the exercise during the inauguration last year, the Minister said “the exercise is to put contractors in their rightful categories. We are not preventing anybody from working, but you must get the right classification for the right jobs.”

The Ministry, through various public notices, has encouraged all road contractors to take advantage of the reclassification process currently ongoing to be reclassified since only road contractors who are reclassified and registered will be eligible to undertake roads, bridges and related works awarded by the government.

Below is the list of the Thirty-One reclassified road construction companies:
