The Ghanaian government is set to permit private enterprises to sponsor the enhancement of city streets and landmarks, according to Local Government Minister Mahama Ayariga. The new scheme will allow businesses to finance the beautification process in exchange for naming rights, advertising opportunities, and other rights. Ayariga outlined this proposal during a Government Accountability Series at the Jubilee House.
