  REMARKS BY THE HON. MINISTER OF ROADS AND HIGHWAYS, MR. JOE GIDISU AT THE OPENING CEREMONY OF A TRAINING WORKSHOP FOR MTTU STAFF IN ENFORCEMENT UNDER THE URBAN TRANSPORT PROJECT AT THE GHANA POLICE TRAINING COLLEGE, ACCRA ON APRIL6, 2009
  The crucial and significant role transport, in particular road transport, plays in the socio-economic development and in the integration of economies and people is obvious. In deed an efficient and effective transport system is critical in promoting economic development and for that matter enhancing the quality of life of our citizenry. There is no doubt that an ineffective and inefficient transport system has a salutary impact on the socio-economic development of any economy. The cost of transacting business is therefore high as a result of this situation.

It facilitates the movement of people, goods and services from one point to the other. It also provides service to other sectors such as tourism, mining, health, trade, education, agriculture, energy among others.
