The Minister for Roads and Highways, Kwame Governs Agbodza, has stated that the government will prioritise road maintenance this year in order to improve the conditions of roads across the country.
He gave the assurance after a tour of the various agencies under the Ministry on Monday in Accra.
According to him, there was the urgent need to improve the condition of the countrys road network to boost economic growth and enhance the quality of life of citizenry. "Whatever have been said in the past, doesn't matter, what matters today is that those roads that are not in good condition, needed to be worked on to enable the people in those areas go about their economic activities without hindrance," he stated.
The Minister held separate durbars with staff of the Ministry, the Department of Urban Road, Feeder Roads and the Ghana Highways Authority.
