President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo highlighted the significant strides made in the road sector under his administration. Since taking office in 2017, his government has completed over 12,830 kilometers of road and constructed six interchanges, achievements he contrasts with those of the previous administration.

Speaking at the launch of the District Road Improvement Programme on Wednesday, July 31, the President emphasized that this initiative embodies his administration's dedication to decentralizing development and ensuring equitable progress across Ghana.

He also revealed the commissioning of 2,240 pieces of essential equipment, including motor graders, backhoes, and rollers, describing them as vital tools for transformation and a reflection of the government's commitment to enhancing the quality of life for Ghanaians.

“Improving our road infrastructure is crucial for economic growth and social development,” President Akufo-Addo remarked.

“This programme will not only advance our road networks but also generate 10,000 jobs for Ghanaians, including roles for mechanics, engineers, and artisans. By equipping local assemblies with necessary resources, we are promoting community ownership and responsibility.”

He called on Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Chief Executives to fully embrace the initiative and adhere to the guidelines set out by the relevant ministries and stakeholders to ensure the programme’s success.
