President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has said that the record of his administration in road infrastructure and the transportation network of the country cannot be compared to any other administration.
From the construction of interchanges to bridges and the rehabilitation of railway lines, no other government did what his administration has done in these sectors.
“Our record in road infrastructure and the transportation network of our country is unmatched,” he wrote on his X platform.

It is recalled that in his State of the Nation address delivered in 2023, in Parliament, President Akufo-Addo said that a chunk of the money his administration borrowed went into the construction of roads.
“Mr Speaker, I am proud of the amount of work that we have done, especially in the road sector. Roads constitute the largest number of questions asked in this House by Members of Parliament; a large amount of the monies we borrow are for road construction. Shall we dare stop constructing roads?” he said.
“Mr Speaker, I would like to state categorically that this Government has built more roads than any government in the history of the 4th Republic, and Mr. Speaker, the details of all these roads are attached in the annex to this message.
“I have done so because, last year, when I made a similar pronouncement, I was met with howls and gasps of incredulity from the Minority benches, and so I thought it’s appropriate, this time, to present it as an annex to the statement, which will be part of Hansard.”
