I appeal to all those who haven\u2019t had their turn to be patient and calm,\u201d he said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr Amoako-Atta appealed to motorists to obey road traffic regulations to ensure accident-free festive season.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr Amoako-Atta said the improvement of the country\u2019s road network did not guarantee the flouting of road traffic regulations as the expense of human lives.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe see drivers refusing to obey speed limits especially on new roads. We should not turn roads into death traps.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Roads development of our nation is a total effort from all of us. Let\u2019s continue to observe road safety signs and respect all road users, including pedestrians and cyclists,\u201d he said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Delivering a sermon on the theme: \u201cChrist Our Savour,\u201d Reverend Commodore Paul Adjei Djan, Director General of Religious Affairs of the Ghana Armed Forces, urged the citizenry to emulate the qualities of Jesus Christ by embracing righteousness and eschewing selfishness.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe must turn away from our wicked ways and have a change of mind and do the things God wants us to do,\u201d he said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Professor Amin Alhassan, Director General, GBC, thanked the Government for the support extended to the Organisation in the year, particularly the asphalting of roads within its Head Office and regional offices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: GNA<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SEND A STORY:<\/strong>\u00a0Do you have a story for us or need a promotion \/ advertisement?
