President Akufo-Addo says Ghanaians should exercise patience when the government begins it 'Year of Roads" because they can't fix all bad roads in Ghana.
The President who was speaking at the Flagstaff House in a media encounter says the government will only touch on significant ones that must be fixed immediately.
He said he receives several complains whenever he embarks on a tour with many Chiefs pleading with him to fix their bad roads.

He, therefore, urged Ghanaians to be calm even if the roads in their various communities are not fixed because the government can't fix all roads within a year.
"We can't deal with all the bad roads in Ghana. Whenever I travel, I have Chiefs complaining bitterly about their poor roads and I ask myself what the NDC government did because they claimed that they built roads in the 'Green book". We will try and fix all the significant roads but we can't fix all and Ghanaians should deal with it, but the country will witness the biggest road infrastructure in Ghana next year".
