Greater Accra Regional Minister Linda Ocloo has revealed that half of her ambitious street lighting improvement project has been completed within the first 50 days of her tenure.
Speaking on Eyewitness News on Wednesday, March 12, 2025, she assured the public that significant progress had been made, with her team actively working on various streets across the capital.
“I will say so far so good. We are 50% through. We will be having a press briefing soon to let the people know exactly the streets that we have worked on so far. Today, the team is working around the Jubilee House and also a couple of streets around. I can assure you of the 50% work done,” she stated.
Despite the progress, she acknowledged some challenges, particularly with faulty streetlights, but remained optimistic about meeting the full target. “We are hoping that by the time the 50-day period elapses, we will cover the remaining 50%. We have some challenges with the streetlights, but we are trying to work around it to make sure that we meet the mark,” she added.
The minister also raised concerns over vandalism affecting the initiative. “About two days ago, our attention was drawn to the fact that some streetlights around Okponglo were being tampered with. There is a copper in the pole, and it seems some people are interested in that.”
