As part of the ceremony, stakeholders conducted a joint inspection of the project site to assess underground utility lines and boundary considerations while clarifying their respective roles in the implementation process.

Technical Officer at Architect and Engineer Service Limited, Ms. Gifty Seidu, stressed the importance of channeling all project-related communication through the consultants to ensure proper management of variations and cost adjustments and to avoid technical breaches. She assured stakeholders that AESL would provide the necessary technical supervision to ensure the project meets the required standards and contributes to the socio-economic development of Adentan, the Greater Accra Region, and the country.
