The ‘Lets Make Accra Work’ initiative by the Greater Accra Regional Minister, Mr Henry Quartey, moved into full gear on Tuesday in a massive decongestion exercise that saw hundreds of unauthorized structures being removed to help keep Accra clean.
Organised by the Greater Accra Regional Coordinating Council in collaboration with the Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) and the Ablekuma Central and the Korle Klottey Municipal assemblies, the day-long operation involved a massive clean-up of drains, streets and other open places.
The exercise, which commenced from the UTC Market on the Kwame Nkrumah Avenue, through to the Farisco area, along the Graphic Road to the Obetsebi-Lamptey Interchange, was highly patronised.

The Greater Accra Regional Coordinating Council (RCC) is set to relocate some traders from the Central Business District (CBD) of Accra to the Adjen Kotoku Market in the Ga West Municipality.
The move is to ease congestion and ensure free flow of vehicular traffic within Accra.
The targeted groups are traders who engage in bulk breaking activities in some of the busy markets in the metropolis.
The market
The Adjen Kotoku Market, which is a bulk breaking market complex, was started in 2008 and completed in 2011.
It was originally built to accommodate traders in the Agbogbloshie Market to ease congestion in the area.
The Greater Accra Regional Coordinating Council and the Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) will begin an exercise to rid the Graphic Road in Accra of illegal occupants and encroachers.
