The Greater Accra Regional Minister, Daniel Nii Kwartei Titus Glover, has issued a strong reminder to residents and business operators in Accra that the newly inaugurated Obetsebi Lamptey Interchange must remain free from unauthorised structures, including kiosks, wooden shops, and mechanic workshops.<\/p>\n
Speaking at the inauguration of Phase II of the Obetsebi Lamptey Interchange on Friday, November 29, the minister emphasised that preserving the aesthetics and functionality of the infrastructure is a priority for city managers.<\/p>\n
The Regional Minister\u2019s remarks were a continuation of his earlier stance regarding similar developments at the Flower Pot Interchange.<\/p>\n
The minister\u2019s comments reflect a growing concern over how new infrastructural projects in Accra are often overtaken by informal businesses shortly after their completion.<\/p>\n
He pointed to an incident where, despite a clear warning issued during the inauguration of the Flower Pot Interchange, a coconut seller and a banana seller defied the directive and set up their tables under the flyover.<\/p>\n
Titus Glover further appealed to residents to respect the government\u2019s efforts to enhance the city\u2019s infrastructure and maintain its beauty.<\/p>\n
\u201cLast week Tuesday, during the commissioning of the Flower Pot Interchange, I did say and let me repeat that we don\u2019t want any kiosks, we don\u2019t want any mechanics around the shoulders of this interchange.<\/p>\n
\u201cImmediately after I gave the warning last week, a coconut seller and a banana seller tested my resolve. Let us not put anything here. Let us allow the ambience and the beauty of the place to continue.\u201d<\/p>\n
