The new Minister for Roads and Highways, Kwame Agbodza, has announced that he will embark on a nationwide tour next week to assess the state of roads across the country.

According to Mr Agbodza, he will report back to the president with his findings from the tour, after which the necessary actions will be taken.

Following his swearing-in to officially assume his new role, President John Mahama advised him that the ministry is one of the most challenging areas to oversee.

He urged Mr Agbodza to meet the expectations of the public by improving existing roads and providing new infrastructure where needed.
