President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has pledged to prioritize building quality roads for the people of Ghana in his 2nd term of office.
In his swearing in ceremony today for his 2nd term, the President declared 2021 as the “second year of roads”.
According to him, his aim is to largely improve infrastructure in his 2nd term of office.
“Our roads are being constructed at a faster pace than before, and yes, there are still many more kilometres to construct. We defined last year as the year of roads. This year will be the second year of roads as we continue with our focus on dealing with the deficits of our road infrastructure.”
The President further promised to develop the railway sector alongside roads.
“The development of our rail sector on which considerable resources and energies are being devoted will open up the country and also help realise the goal of regional and continental integration.”
President Akufo-Addo further pledged to roll out more infrastructural projects in his second term.
“The percentage of Ghanaians without access to potable water is said to be reduced significantly, following the commencement of water projects across the country. The majority of Ghanaians live in unacceptable housing, and we shall tackle the problem with vigour.”
