This, according to him, puts the president in the league of his own when it comes to road constructions in the history of Ghana.
“Right from independence, the seriousness attached to the road sector is unprecedented. And, no government within a period of three to four years can match the feat of Akufo-Addo,” Amoako-Atta stated in Kumasi on Thursday, March 18, 2021.
He said anyone who wishes to verify his bold claim can do so, stressing: “The figures are there, the statistics are there.”
