He said the President , His Excellency Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo admonished all MMDCEs in Ghana to thrive hard and complete all projects that begun during Professor Atta Mills and John Dramani Mahama’s regimes that are beneficial to the people and the Assembly and since then he has taken that challenge in good faith and making sure such projects are completed.

The team also inspected some roads which are ongoing.
