Commuters who rely on the Accra-Tema railway line may need to make urgent alternative transport plans, as the Ghana Railway Company faces an imminent shutdown.
Workers at the Accra Division of the Railway Workers Union have threatened to ground all operations starting tomorrow if their seven months of unpaid salaries are not paid by close of day today. "For the past seven months, we have not been paid.
