The GH¢325,000 project was designed, funded and constructed by Alfkay Group Limited, an office-cleaning and landscaping company as part of its corporate social responsibility.
A memorandum of understanding (MoU) was signed between the company and the Effutu Municipal Assembly before the execution of the project.
The facility now has neat lawns, advertising spaces for companies to promote their products and services, as well as a fountain.
Minister
The Central Regional Minister, Mr Thomas Aquinas Tawiah Quansah, who inaugurated the facility, commended the Alfkay Group Limited for giving the roundabout a facelift.
He said the reconstruction of the facility was necessary since it served as a major entry point to Winneba, Agona Swedru, Cape Coast and Accra.
According to him, the advertising spaces would help the assembly generate funds to ensure the proper maintenance of the facility and charged the assembly to institute a maintenance schedule to enable the facility have value for the money invested.
Alfkay Group
A Managing Partner of Alfkay Group Limited, Madam Cathrine Achina, said her outfit, as part of giving back to the society, had started a project to beautify roundabouts across the country.
She said the company had already reconstructed the Dansoman Roundabout in Accra as part of the initiative.
The Chief Executive Officer of the company, Mr Kwesi Frimpong, told the Daily Graphic that the project was started in March, 2014 and completed this month.
He also said the company would effectively partner the assembly in the maintenance of the roundabout.
