On road infrastructure,  Ing. Adams stated that the sector had a score of 2.79 out of 5 points.

He explained further that this showed that the country’s road infrastructure had little or no ability to withstand the weather pattern. He added that they also have a shorter lifespan compared to international standards.

He therefore, called on the government to look critically at the standard of road construction in the country.

He suggested that the government develops a regular maintenance schedule for already constructed roads since it is one of Ghana’s key infrastructure.
