NDC Embarks On Reshaping Of Deplorable Roads In Volta region

In a bid to improve roads infrastructure in the Volta region, the National Democratic Congress (NDC), is embarking on a rigorous reshaping of some roads in the region. 

So far, about one hundred and forty kilometers (140km) stretch of roads have been reshaped at the cost of about three million Ghana Cedis (GH¢3,000,000), from the  party's own coffers.The beneficiary constituencies include: Central Tongu - 22 km, North Tongu - 15 km, Adaklu - 15 km (spot improvement), Kpetoe - 15 km, Akatsi North - 12 km, Ketu North - 15 km, Hohoe - 18 km, Akatsi South - 10 km, South Tongu - 15 km.

Speaking in an interview, Volta regional Chairman of the NDC, Cde. Mawutor Agbavitor said, the ambitious project is being undertaken in a bid to improve the roads infrastructure in the region and to ensure that the roads remain motorable to aid transportation on the region as some of the roads have become so deplorable and an eye sore.

According to him, the Volta region was lagging behind in terms of roads infrastructure and other developmental projects due to the neglect and insensitivity of the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia  led New Patriotic Party (NPP) government since taking office almost eight years ago.

Agbavitor urged the people of the region to continue to throw their unflinching support behind the NDC as it was the only political party in the country that believes in the well-being of the masses.

"The NDC remains the obvious choice of the people of Volta and the whole of Ghana and we will leave no stones unturned to win the upcoming December elections in order to restore hope and dignity to the good people of Ghana.

The Volta NDC Chairman called on the electorate to consider the current trajectory of the country under the NPP so as to make informed decisions on casting their ballots in the December 7 general elections.

He said the party will intensify its campaign at every nook and cranny of the region to ensure that "we emerge victorious in the December polls - Ghanaians are looking up to us to rescue them from the quagmire of incompetence, mismanagement and looting of state resources by the NPP government and it's cronies over these last eight years and we cannot afford to fail them."

This bold and novel move by the NDC with support from its flagbearer, former President John Dramani Mahama, even in opposition without access to the national coffers, indicates the preparedness and commitment of the party to change the fortunes of the country and indeed better the lot of the poor suffering masses when voted back into power come December 7.
