Addressing the Volta Regional House of Chiefs on the last day of his campaign tour of the Volta region, he said the NPP will set up the National Asset Protection Project to address this situation – a pledge which is contained in the 2016 NPP manifesto.
“One of the tragedies of this nation is the long list of abandoned projects dotted around this country; we have committed ourselves to tackling this disgraceful phenomenon through the National Asset Protection Project to ensure the continuity of projects,” he said.

He assured the chiefs that “we, in the NPP, do not see the construction of the road from Asikuma through Peki to Hohoe, no matter what it is christened, as a party political obligation on a ruling party. We see it as part of our national commitment to improve upon the lives of the people.”
He added that “anyone who has been on the roads that I have been on recently, be it Yendi to Saboba, or Asikuma through Peki through to Hohoe or Jasikan or Dambai to Nkwanta, no one who has been on any of these roads or similar ones around this country would even think of abandoning work on them because it was started by a political opponent. That is not the NPP way.”
Akufo-Addo spent four days of his campaign schedule in the northern parts of the Volta region.
There, he assured the chiefs to create the Oti Region from the Volta region. The Chiefs and people have capitalised on the December vote to get presidential nominees to commit to the creation of the region.

President Mahama equally promised to create the Oti Region during his tour of the Northern Volta.
In addition, he said his next administration may create five more additional regions.
