The Greater Accra Regional Minister, Linda Akweley Ocloo, has disclosed that streetlights on the Tema Motorway and the Accra-Tema Beach Road remain non-functional due to ongoing construction activities.

Speaking during an assessment tour on Tuesday, March 25, Ocloo highlighted that while her office has overseen the restoration of approximately 126 streetlights across various parts of the region, these key routes could not be included in the initiative.

“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.

“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.”

The restoration effort follows Ocloo’s earlier commitment to ensuring at least 70% of the region’s streetlights are operational within her first 50 days in office. The initiative aims to improve visibility and security across the capital.

Some of the areas benefiting from the intervention include the George Walker Bush Highway, ACP to Pokuase, Independence Avenue (Jubilee House), and the New Town Junction to Ashaiman road.

The minister assured the public that plans are in place to restore the remaining non-functional streetlights promptly.
