The Greater Accra Regional Security Council (REGSEC) has launched a demolition exercise targeting illegal structures in the Tema Metropolis, Sakumono, Klagon, and surrounding areas.
The operation, which began on Tuesday, May 27, 2025, is part of a broader government initiative to reclaim encroached lands and mitigate the impact of perennial flooding across the capital.
The exercise is expected to extend to other flood-prone zones, including the Madina La-Nkwantanang and Adentan municipalities.
Addressing newly appointed Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs) at a regional meeting held on Monday, May 26, 2025, the Greater Accra Regional Minister, Linda Ocloo, emphasised that illegal developments have significantly contributed to the region's persistent flooding.
