President Nana Akufo-Addo has boasted about his achievements in the road sector, claiming that his regime’s road infrastructure is unparalleled in the Fourth Republic.
According to him, the Year of Roads tagline was more than just a catchphrase; it was a reality and a very effective campaign.
“The road infrastructure that has been established since I became President, let me use this famous word, is unprecedented.
“We have never seen so much in the roads sector. Let’s put it as far as the 4th Republic is concerned. Roads Minister likes to say, since independence,” President Akufo-Addo said these on Radio Upper West on Monday, August 22, 2022, during his working visit to the Upper West Region.
He noted that the Upper West Region alone has had 18 road projects finished since 2017 while 110 more road projects are ongoing as an illustration of his extensive road infrastructure project in the nation.
“Government has expanded the road network dramatically. Obviously, when you’re starting from zero when you get to four, it doesn’t look as if you’ve got very far, but from zero to four in itself is a big movement, and when you get to five or six or seven, then you realize that you’re beginning to succeed.”
He assured the people that contractors are not going to be left high and dry, saying that: “At the end of the day, if they don’t get paid, the development of our road infrastructure stalls. Things are going to work out; they are going to work out”.
