The Greater Accra Regional Minister, Linda Akweley Ocloo, has announced the restoration of streetlights on 126 Streets across the Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Assemblies in the region.
This follows an earlier promise to ensure the complete operations of at least 70 percent of streetlights in the region within 50 days of assuming office, a move she explains aligns with the government’s commitment to improving visibility and security across the capital.
Some areas she enumerated to have benefited from the initiative include the George Walker Bush Highway, ACP to Pokuase, Independence Avenue (Jubilee House), and the New Town junction to Ashaiman road.
Addressing journalists on Tuesday, March 25, during an assessment tour, Ocloo announced plans to promptly restore the remaining non-functioning streetlights.
“Today, March 25, marks exactly my 50 days in office, and I am pleased to report that significant progress has been made, and in all, about 126 streets have been worked on, including some highways, town roads, and community roads across the 29 MMDAs in the region.
“I must mention that the Tema Motorway and the Accra-Tema Beach Road, which is of very much concern to the general public, could not be lightened because of the ongoing construction works.”
