Give praise where due

Give praise  where  due
At long last, road users can heave a sigh of relief following the completion and inauguration of the  Kwame Nkrumah Circle Interchange by his Excellency John Dramani Mahama. This interchange is said to be one of the biggest and nicest in West Africa.
In my opinion, the government has invested massively in infrastructure development which will hopefully improve the economy. I must say the interchange will help reduce the terrific traffic jam which used to build up on roads linking up that stretch of the city. This will in turn help boost productivity and increase the living standards of people.
Other facilities such as a police station, mini clinic for emergency cases, fire service post and an ultra-modern lorry pack which have been added as part of the architectural design will make life much easier for people who ply their activities there on a daily basis.
It ,therefore, comes as no surprise that some people have nicknamed the Kwame Nkrumah Circle Interchange as a ‘mini Dubai’ as a result of the  beautiful  transformation that the project  has brought. In fact, Nkrumah Circle is indeed a  charming place to be at night!
 As  patriotic citizens, we need to balance the scale and criticise where it is due, while also offer praise where it is deserved.
Kudos !Mr President for your overwhelming infrastructural works to ease the burden of Ghanaians!
However, the Pokuase-ACP road should be given a critical look for immediate action. The excessive traffic jam and the terrible nature of these roads cause accident on the road.
Thieves and robbers have taken advantage of the deplorable nature of the roads in the area to attack and rob motorists and pedestrians at night.
I am ,therefore, appealing to the government to have a critical look at this situation and come to the aid of commuters and residence of these areas.
