Mr. Agbodza, who is also the Member of Parliament for Adaklu, disclosed that work would soon begin on the Atimpoku through Ho to Aflao road, adding "that road will be asphalted."

He said some roads in the Adaklu district, including the Adaklu Abuadi to Adaklu Kordiabe and the Ho Mirage to Adaklu Kodzobi roads, would also be constructed.

"The Ho Mirage Road, which is an urban road, will be asphalted," he assured the people.

The Minister was full of praise for the people for the massive support they demonstrated for him and President Mahama in the 2024 general election.

He assured that "Government is working hard to bring the smiles back to the faces of Ghanaians by making the cost of living affordable and meaningful to them.

Mr. Agbodza noted that all the promises contained in the party's manifesto, which attracted the people to vote for them, would be honoured.

The Minister entreated the youth in Adaklu to take their education seriously, adding that the surest way to a meaningful life was through education.
