Regional Minister Shines Light on Accra's Streets with 126 Repaired Streetlights
Accra, Ghana - 26 March, 2025 - Greater Accra Regional Minister Linda Akweley Ocloo has made good on her promise to restore streetlights in the region, announcing the successful repair of approximately 126 streetlights across various Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Assemblies (MMDAs) within her first 50 days in office.
This achievement marks a significant milestone in her commitment to ensuring that at least 70% of streetlights in the region are operational.
The restored streetlights are spread across the Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Assemblies, with key areas such as the George Walker Bush Highway, ACP to Pokuase, Independence Avenue (Jubilee House), and the New Town junction to Ashaiman road now benefiting from improved lighting.
Ocloo's commitment to addressing the region's infrastructure challenges has been evident since her promise to install 70% of streetlights within her first 50 days in office. While some areas, such as the Tema Motorway and the Accra-Tema Beach Road, remain unlit due to ongoing construction works, Ocloo has assured that plans are underway to 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 streetlights 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.”
