President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has stated that his government has been the most successful administration that has built more roads and infrastructure compared to any other government in the history of Ghana.
According to him, the past five years has seen the construction of about 10,875 kilometres of new roads under his watch.
Akufo-Addo said the government plans to further construct more roads around the country.
“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,” Akufo-Addo said in his 2022 State of the Nation Address in Parliament on Wednesday (30 March).
New roads
“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.
“…I considered it to be a most satisfying birthday present. We intend to continue with the building of roads around the country to accelerate the opening up of our country,” he said.
