FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
STATEMENT FROM THE BONO REGIONAL MINISTER
ON ROAD ACCIDENT WHICH OCCURRED ON SUNDAY, 13TH MARCH, 2022 AT ASUBOI, ON THE ACCRA-KUMASI HIGHWAY.
I have learnt, with extreme sadness, the horrifying news of a tragic accident at Asuboi in the early hours of Sunday, 13th March, 2022, which occurred involving students of the University of Education Winneba (UEW) who were travelling from Sunyani to Winneba.
Information gathered so far indicate that Nine (9) persons have lost their lives with several sustaining life-threatening injuries.
To lose family and friends through avoidable circumstances such as road accidents is extremely painful. Dreams are shattered abruptly, bread winners are lost and the entire family become devastated.
The nation ultimately loses quality human resource, which is essential for our national resources.
I extend my deepest condolences, and that of the Regional Coordinating Council, to families of the deceased and assure you that we stand with you in this difficult period of grief. I also sincerely wish the injured speedy recovery.
Investigations are still on-going and it is my cherished hope that we show circumspection in our commentary on this tragic event, in order not to hurt the sensibilities of the affected families and friends.
Nonetheless, in commiserating with the affected families, I will urge all road users, especially our drivers, to drive safely always by observing the protocols of the road and highway driving and help reduce the spate of road accidents in our country.
Finally, I applaud the various state agencies, especially the Ghana Police Service, which responded to this tragedy with swiftness to avoid further and potential casualties and eventualities.
May the good Lord receive the souls of our departed into eternal rest.
Thank you.
