The Greater Accra Regional Minister, Linda Akweley Ocloo, has announced the successful restoration of approximately 126 streetlights across various Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Assemblies (MMDAs) in the region.
This development follows her commitment to ensuring that at least 70 percent of streetlights in the region are operational within her first 50 days in office.
Addressing journalists on Tuesday, March 25, during an assessment tour, Minister Ocloo emphasized the government’s dedication to improving visibility and security in the capital.
“Today, March 25, marks exactly my 50 days in office, and I am pleased to report that significant progress has been made. In all, about 126 streetlights have been worked on, including some highways, town roads, and community roads across the 29 MMDAs in the region,” she stated.
Among the areas that have benefited from the initiative are the George Walker Bush Highway, ACP to Pokuase, Independence Avenue (Jubilee House), and the New Town Junction to Ashaiman road.
However, the Minister noted that some key routes, such as the Tema Motorway and the Accra-Tema Beach Road, remain unlit due to ongoing construction works.
She assured the public that efforts to restore the remaining non-functioning streetlights would continue, reaffirming her commitment to enhancing public safety and infrastructure across the region.
