President of the Republic, H. E. Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo on 31st July, 2024, launched DRIP 2024 at the Black Star Square, Accra, to make way for reshaping district based road network nationwide. The initiative caught the attention of many with majority of citizens applauding the Nana Akufo-Addo led government when machines/equipment for road construction filed the 2nd open space for gathering of any kind in the world.
