According to him, his government would embark on an aggressive road development across Ghana next year, saying “Next year is the year we will adopt as the year of roads.”

Speaking at a media encounter in Accra on Friday, President Akufo-Addo, said roads are critical in the development of any nation and that the development of the much-tauted roads under the previous administration was untrue.

He said he had travelled the lengths and breaths of the country and one reoccurring demands of the chiefs and people across the country had to do with roads.

He said anytime he travelled and lowered his glasses, the gestures people made pointed to the poor nature of their roads which needed fixing.

President Akufo-Addo said the observation he made during the time he was in opposition was not different from today, concerning the poor nature of roads in the country.
