Below is part 1 of a summary of projects and infrastructure undertaken by the NPP since 2017:


1. 13 interchanges in 8 years.  No government in Ghana's history has been able to do that, not even Nkrumah.  We have also constructed and increased Ghanas roadstock to a total of 4263.37Km between 2017 and 2021 comprising of 1,463.36km asphaltic overlays, 837.27km of  rehabilitated roads and 955.82km of gravelled or re-gravelled roads.


Other activities include upgraded roads 482.83km, spot improvement 139.57km, resealing 86.20km, reconstruction 90.40km, partial reconstruction 139.41km and construction 68.50km.


This record of work done in the roads sector surpasses every quantum of roads projects undertaken by any government since 1975 including the incompetent NDC.


2. We have borrowed to expand, rehabilitate, and build International standard Airports  and aviation hubs such as the Tamale Airport Phase II, Kumasi Airport Phase II, Ho Airport, Rehabilitation and commissioning of Sunyani Airport, Takoradi Airport etc.


3. We have borrowed to restore and rebuild Ghana's collapsed railway system. This has ensured that Trains and locomotive transport can now be an alternative for road, sea and Air transport and ferrying of goods to international and inter regional centres. The newly constructed railway system in Ghana conforms to the IRA standard gauging systems unlike the railways that existed in the past. Now, Greater Accra, Eastern Region, Central Region, Western Region, Volta Region, Ashamti Region, Oti Regio,  and Norther Region can benefit from the operation of locomotive transportation.


4. We have borrowed to build the most expansive health infrastructure across Ghana with the Agenda 111 projects, all of which are at various levels of completion. Upon completion of construction, these hospices will offer quality and accessible health care to Ghanaians.

Countless Community Health centres, CHPS compounds, Medical stores, etc. have also been constructed.

* Eastern Regional Hospital

* Maternity and NICU at Komfo Anokye

*Somanya Hospital

*Tain Hospital

*Buipe Hospital

Our NPP government has completed and commissioned over 65 hospitals and health centres thus far. Add the agenda 111, and we are proudly responsible for adding over 230 hospitals, health centres, and health projects to that already existing in Ghana.


5. We have borrowed and built 7 brand new STEM senior high schools with dormitories, administration blocks, science resource centres, laboratories, etc. All of these 7 are operational and are training over 10,000 senior high school students. Note that these were built from scratch and they come along with all the facilities needed to make a school unlike the ill-fated E-Blocks that the corrupt NDC couldn't complete and didn't furnish. Remember that none of the E Blocks contained any other facility apart from empty lecture hall with no furniture.


6. We have borrowed to construct new facilities to upgrade all existing SHS in Ghana. The NPP under Nana Addo has been the only govt in Ghanas history that has spent close to 37% of its total purse on improving access to educational and educational facilities across Ghana. Koase SHS, Sunyani SHS, Some SHS, Akatsi Secondary Technical School, Comboni Vocational Technical and Bator SHS, Bibiani SHS, Navrongo SHS, Tamale SHS, Yaa Asantewaa SHS, Gyaakye Pramso SHS, etc are all beneficiaries of such infrastructural interventions.


Every senior high school in your locality has benefitted.  Yes, this is what the monies we borrowed have been used for. To improve the lives of our children and youth to attain quality education to be able to compete with any other citizen across the globe.


7. We have borrowed to retool and resource our security agencies, i.e.,. GHANA POLICE, ARMY, NAVY, IMMIGDATION, PRISONS, FIRE SEVICE, AMBULANCE SERVICE.

*315 brand new ambulances for every district in Ghana.

*Over 7ooo motorbikes for the Ghana police service MTTD and VISIBILTY UNIT.

*Two new HELICOPTERS for the GPS. First of its kind in West Africa. No other country in West Africa has a Police force with an Air UNIT.

*over 800 pickups and operational vehicles to GPS to resource all its regional and district offices.

*provision of modern riot control and crowd response gear to GPS. 

*supply of modern ammunition to combat crime.

*Face-lift and construction of various police posts across Ghana.

*commissioning of the first ever state of the art Police estates to provide decent accommodation to iur servicemen and women.

*Provision of modern state of the art ammunition to GAF to enable them carry our their duty of protection better.

* Provision of transport and specialised transport for GAF.

* Provision of moden high-powered speed boats to Ghana NAVY to aid them patrol our territorial waters to prevent exploitation by foreigners and enemies.

* Recruitment and training of over 23000 Ghanaian youth into the security services.


8. Construction and commissioning of the first ever Judicial service estates to accommodate Justices, Magistrates, Judges and other legal service staff.


9. Rehabilitation and refurbishment of law courts and legal service structures across the nation to give it a modern look and to enable the swift delivery of justice. 


10. Digitization of operations of almost all state agencies, SIC, SSNIT, DVLA, VRA, STC, ECG, PASSPORT OFFICE, NHIS, LANDS COMMISSION, BANKS etc. This is to modernise the operations of these state agencies by integrating technology into their operations to increase efficiency and output.


All of these projects and infrastructure require colossal amounts of money to undertake. The NPP government has ensured that Ghanaians get value for money through due diligence and fiscal prudence by ensuring that we get maximum output with the most minimal losses.
