Agbodza Issues One-Week Ultimatum to Remove Billboard Blocking Ashaiman Road Project

Roads and Highways Minister, Governs Kwame Agbodza, has issued a strict one-week ultimatum to the owners of a billboard situated at the Ashaiman Roundabout to dismantle and clear the structure. Failure to comply within the given timeframe will result in the Ministry taking direct action to pull down the installation. The directive comes as part of immediate efforts to enforce compliance and clear key arterial rights-of-way critical to ongoing public infrastructure development.

​The Minister emphasized that the billboard's position directly obstructs active construction works on the vital 64.4-kilometre Ashaiman Roundabout–Atimpoku Junction road project. Continued delays caused by unauthorized or poorly placed physical structures jeopardize contractor timelines and disrupt heavy equipment movement along the corridor. Government officials stressed that unhindered access is necessary to maintain momentum on the project, which serves as a vital transport link for regional trade and daily commuters.

​Reiterating the Ministry’s commitment to safety and efficiency, Minister Agbodza urged all outdoor advertising firms and property owners to ensure their developments strictly align with legal permits and public safety regulations. The Ministry highlighted that while commercial development is welcomed, key national infrastructure projects will take precedence. Contractors on-site have been instructed to proceed without hindrance once the clearance deadline expires.
