The Ghanaian government is set to initiate a major waste evacuation operation from Jamestown in Accra to the Adipa Waste Management Centre in Nsawam. This project has been discussed after meetings with ministers from various sectors such as Roads and Highways, Finance, and Defence. The Adipa landfill, owned by the Jospong Group of Companies, has been confirmed as a suitable location for the waste.
Technical assessments are underway to determine the volume of waste, the number of trucks needed, and the logistics involved. The government is also engaging construction firms for support. Military personnel will be deployed to secure the cleared area post-evacuation. The Finance Ministry is planning the redevelopment of the area once the waste is cleared. Select roads might be closed for the duration of the operation to avoid traffic congestion.
