President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo says no government comes closer to his administration in terms of roads building in the history of the country.
The President added that under the watch of the New Patriotic Party, road infrastructure such as improvement and upgrading have been done better compared to any other government.
He made this declaration when presenting the 2022 State of the Nation Address on the floor of Parliament on Wednesday March 30, 2022.
“It is in the road sector that we have registered the greatest infrastructure achievement. I know that the word ‘unprecedented’ is often used with careless abandon in our public discourse, but I use it carefully and purposefully.”
“In the five years of my government, so far, more roads have been built, improved and upgraded than at any other equivalent period under any government in the history of Ghana” the President stated categorically.
He further pointed out that some 10,875 kilometres of new roads have been constructed within the five year period.
“Some 10,875 kilometres of new roads have been constructed in these five years.
“Let me mention that yesterday, it was my honour and great pleasure to have commissioned the Tamale Interchange, the first such interchange in the northern sector of our country, which the people of Tamale celebrated.”
President Akufo-Addo, therefore, assured the general public of his government commitment to continue embarking on the building of roads around the country to accelerate the opening up of road networks nationwide.
