New Juaben
municipality to get streetlights
Koforidua, Dec.10, Ghanadot/GNA - About 1,800 street lights
are to be installed in the New Juaben Municipality as part
of government's street lighting programme.
Nana Kwesi Adjei Boateng, the new Juaben Municipal Chief
Executive, who disclosed this to the Ghana News Agency (GNA),
said the first phase of the project would cover the major
roads in the Koforidua Township.
Some of the areas include the Okorase, Akwadum and Effiduase
main roads that link the municipality to other towns and
Minyilla, Galloway, Atekyem, Anlo-Town and the Eredec
arterial roads would also be covered.
Asked why, the project was hooked to the national grid
instead of solar, Mr. Boateng said the initial cost of solar
panels was estimated at 4.6 million Dollars while the
hydro-energy source was about 21 billion cedis.
He said the assembly would collaborate with the Electricity
Company of Ghana to maintain the streetlights.
