Lawrence Lamptey, Deputy Chief Executive in charge of Maintenance at the Ghana Highway Authority, stressed the importance of good road maintenance. He told engineers that well-kept roads are crucial for Ghana's development.
Poorly built and maintained roads are expensive for taxpayers and make travel difficult, Lamptey explained. He urged the use of modern methods to ensure better road conditions across the country.
The official highlighted that using technology and data can help identify problems early and plan maintenance more effectively. This approach can lead to more efficient use of resources.
Improved road networks benefit all citizens by facilitating trade, transport, and overall economic activity. The Ghana Highway Authority is committed to ensuring the nation's roads are safe and reliable.
This call to action aims to enhance the quality of road infrastructure. It supports the government's broader goals for national development and economic growth.
