As government officials we fully support the decision of the council and will do all it takes to collaborate with the council to bring development to Accra," he said. 

The MCE who was accompanied by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Coastal Development Authority (CODA), Jerry Ahmed Shiab also used the opportunity to inform the council of the low turnout during the COVID-19 vaccination exercise in Ga Mashie and appealed to them to help encourage residents who fall within the targeted group to go for the vaccine.

Nii Adote Otintor II, who spoke through a linguist thanked the Mayor and his entourage for the visit and stressed the need for regular interactions between the Assembly and the council to bring development to the people of Accra.
