President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has announced plans for massive road infrastructure development to boost the economic activities of the people.

       A number of roads were going to be soon awarded on contract for the works to start.

      The President said GH¢100 million had been earmarked for that and would involve construction and reshaping of some major roads, town roads and bridges.

      He expressed discomfort with the bad nature of the country’s road network and said this would be tackled.

      He was speaking at a meeting with the Council of Ahafo Chiefs on day two of his official visit to the Brong-Ahafo Region.

      He is in the region to engage with the chiefs and people to gauge their felt-needs.

      President Akufo-Addo said he had noticed from his tour of the parts of the region that nothing significant was done by the previous government in the road sector.

      He gave an upbeat assessment of the economy and said they had restored the troubled economy they inherited to the path of growth.

     This had come through hard work and he reiterated his unwavering commitment to fight corruption.
