‎The Mayor of Accra, Hon. Michael Kpakpo Allotey, has issued a final ultimatum to operators of a mechanic workshop at Dadeban Loop, near Winners Chapel in the North Industrial Area, to remove all vehicles parked along the street by Monday, November 2, 2026, to pave the way for the commencement of road construction works.

‎The directive was issued on October 26, 2026, during a working visit to the area, where the Mayor engaged six leaders of the mechanic workshop over the continued occupation of portions of the road earmarked for construction under the government's infrastructure development agenda.

‎Speaking during the engagement, Mayor Allotey informed the mechanics that the planned road construction formed part of the Reset Ghana Agenda being pursued by President John Dramani Mahama to improve road infrastructure, enhance accessibility and facilitate economic activities across the country.

‎He said the continued presence of vehicles along the affected stretch could obstruct construction activities and delay the implementation of the project, making it necessary for the workshop operators to clear the road before contractors commenced work.‎

‎The Mayor indicated that the affected operators had been engaged and given financial assistance to facilitate the relocation of their vehicles, stressing that the support was intended to ensure that the exercise was carried out with minimal disruption to their businesses.

‎He cautioned the operators against further delays and directed them to remove all vehicles from the affected stretch by the stipulated deadline, emphasising that the ultimatum was final and must be strictly observed to allow the road project to proceed without obstruction.

‎Mayor Allotey also warned mechanics operating along First Close and Ninth Street, near Eden Garden Hotel, to vacate the streets, cautioning that any operator who failed to comply with the directive would have their vehicles towed away by the Assembly.‎

‎He stressed the importance of cooperation between the Assembly and business operators in the implementation of development projects, noting that improvements in road infrastructure would ultimately benefit businesses, motorists, pedestrians and residents within the industrial enclave.‎

‎He maintained that while the Assembly recognised the economic contributions of mechanics and other artisans operating in the area, their activities should not obstruct public roads or undermine efforts to improve infrastructure and ensure the free movement of vehicles.

‎During the engagement, the workshop operators acknowledged receiving financial support to facilitate the removal of their vehicles from the affected road, confirming that arrangements had been made to enable them to vacate the area ahead of the planned construction works.

‎The planned construction of the Dadeban Loop road is expected to improve vehicular movement, enhance accessibility to businesses and industrial facilities, and address road infrastructure challenges within the North Industrial Area.
