We’ll install 25,000 street lights across Greater Accra soon – Titus Glover
e Greater Accra Regional Coordinating Council has revealed plans to install 25,000 street lights across the region soon.
According to the Regional Minister, Daniel Nii Kwartei Titus Glover, the street lights will be solar-powered.
This comes after several complaints by motorists and residents in the Greater Accra region about poor visibility on many roads at night.
Speaking at a regional town hall meeting, Mr Titus Glover said the exercise to fix street lights is part of measures to curb crime.
“Because criminals don’t like visibility, the government has supported the region to make sure we light up the entire region with some street lights. In phase one, 10,000 streetlights were distributed in 2022.
“20,000 in 2023 and in phase three, we are going to do 25,000. There is a process in place where a company wants to partner with the regional coordinating council to do a solar one on the Tema Motorway. They will do a pilot from Shiashie through the Airport to 37 to Accra Central.
“Then we look at the N1 all the way to Weija Gbawe. Then we come to Achimota, the Overhead, through the Forestry Commission, the Achimota Police Station, GIMPA and then we make a turn towards Fiesta Royale.”
