President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has reiterated his government’s commitment to promoting balanced development across Ghana, with infrastructure playing a pivotal role in advancing national progress.
At the inauguration of Phase II of the Tema Motorway Interchange on Monday, December 2, 2024, the president highlighted the project as a key component of his administration’s efforts to decentralize economic opportunities and address regional inequalities.
He emphasized that initiatives like this are vital to ensuring inclusive growth throughout the country.
“The commissioning of this interchange is part of a deliberate strategy to decentralize economic opportunities and promote equitable development nationwide. From the Pokuase Interchange, the largest in West Africa, to the Tamale Interchange, the first of its kind in Northern Ghana, we have worked relentlessly to open up our country, reduce disparities, and empower communities,” President Akufo-Addo remarked.
He further outlined that the government’s commitment to national development extends beyond roads, with significant investments in critical sectors such as railways, healthcare, and education, all aimed at building a resilient, economically dynamic, and inclusive Ghana.
In the past two weeks, President Akufo-Addo has also commissioned two major road infrastructure projects in Accra—the Flowerpot Interchange and the Obetsebi Lamptey Interchange—both designed to ease traffic congestion in the capital.
