Accra Decongestion: Demolitions Underway at Nkrumah Circle

Accra Decongestion Exercise: Nkrumah Circle Sees Day 2 of Demolitions Accra, Ghana – May 21, 2025 – The Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) continued its city decongestion exercise today, focusing on Nkrumah Circle. The operation, which began yesterday, aims to remove unauthorized structures and improve traffic flow in the busy commercial hub. The AMA's efforts are part of a broader initiative to modernize and improve Accra's infrastructure. The video footage shows a team of workers carefully dismantling a small metal kiosk. They work together, systematically removing the structure's components before loading it onto a waiting truck. The operation appears well-organized and efficient. "This exercise is crucial for the development of our city," said one AMA official, who was present at the site. "We need to create a more orderly and efficient environment for everyone." While some residents expressed concerns about the impact on businesses, the AMA has pledged to provide support and relocation assistance to affected individuals. The decongestion exercise is expected to continue for several more days, with further updates to follow. The AMA hopes the project will significantly improve the quality of life for Accra residents and visitors.
