Greater Accra Regional Minister, Linda Akweley Ocloo, has announced the successful restoration of 126 streetlights across various Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Assemblies (MMDAs) within her first 50 days in office.
This initiative is part of her pledge to ensure at least 70 percent of streetlights in the region are operational within the period, a goal aimed at enhancing visibility and security.
Speaking to journalists during an assessment tour on Tuesday, March 25, Ocloo highlighted some of the areas that have benefited from the project. These include the George Walker Bush Highway, the stretch from ACP to Pokuase, Independence Avenue near Jubilee House, and the New Town Junction to Ashaiman road.
“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 streetlights have been worked on, including some highways, town roads, and community roads across the 29 MMDAs in the region,” she stated.
However, she noted that streetlights on the Tema Motorway and Accra-Tema Beach Road remain non-functional due to ongoing construction works. She assured the public that efforts would continue to restore all remaining faulty streetlights as soon as possible.
