The National Road Safety Authority (NRSA) has begun to see results as Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Assemblies (MMDAs) in the Greater Accra Region begin the removal of unauthorised billboards in their areas, as the deadline for the ultimatum has lapsed.
Some local assemblies, following the NRSA's threat to trigger legal action for noncompliance, have started taking down these structures after receiving a 21-day ultimatum from the Authority on April 30, 2025.
A report by myjoyonline.com on May 30, indicated that Abraham Amaliba, Acting Director-General of the NRSA, wanted to meet MMDAs to give them a grace period to remove all the illegal billboards in their jurisdiction after the 21-day ultimatum, but they failed to show up at a scheduled meeting on Thursday, May 29, to discuss the non-compliance with the directive.
A later report by citinewsroom.com on June 17, however, has indicated that some of the Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Assemblies (MMDAs) have started the removal of billboards that obstruct road visibility and pose safety risks.
