You are the answer to quality road delivery - Agbodza tells Prez. Mahama

Roads and Highways Minister Kwame Agbodza commended President John Dramani Mahama's leadership in Ghana, highlighting his administration's focus on delivering high-quality roads in a timely manner. This approach, Agbodza argued, had helped break the cycle of roads being constructed, deteriorating quickly, and requiring further repairs.

Ghanaian citizens had become frustrated with this recurring pattern, and Mahama was seen as the solution to this issue, Agbodza stated. The Minister made these remarks while touring the Tepa–Goaso road project in the Ahafo Region on October 9, 2021, as part of President Mahama's Resetting Ghana Tour. Agbodza emphasized that the government's capacity to fund road projects demonstrated its strong leadership and economic management, enabling the allocation of resources to enhance infrastructure nationwide.

He attributed the government's success to its superior economic management, which allowed for the preservation of funds to invest in further infrastructure improvements. The Minister explained that the government's methodology for road construction aimed to address the public's concerns about roads deteriorating shortly after completion and necessitating repeated rehabilitation.

A durable road system, capable of serving communities for decades rather than needing replacement within a short period, was the desired outcome. Agbodza called for the recognition of contractors who performed well, while also commending those who exceeded expectations. He urged for equal attention to be given to both areas of contractor performance.

Agbodza expressed gratitude to President Mahama on behalf of the Ahafo Region for the ongoing road projects being undertaken, stating that the government's Reset Agenda should lead to the delivery of quality infrastructure at the expected pace. He reiterated that "Reset means quality and speed."
