Metro Mass Transit Managers are vowing to stop unauthorized construction at the Opera Square Bus Terminal in Accra. They say this development is not right for the traders using the vital transport hub.
The Deputy Managing Director for Metro Mass Transit, Haroun Apaw-Wiredu, spoke to reporters on March 12. He stated that his company is determined to end the ongoing unauthorized development.
Mr. Apaw-Wiredu raised concerns about the sale of parts of the Opera Square Bus Terminal. He accused the government of engaging in a "create, loot and share" agenda in this process.
The company’s management is taking a stand to protect the interests of the traders. They want the terminal to remain a functional space for public transport and commerce.
Metro Mass Transit aims to ensure that any development at the terminal serves the needs of the traders and the public. They will work to halt projects they deem unauthorized.
The specific details of the development and the legal standing of the sales are points of contention. Metro Mass Transit is acting to assert control over the terminal's future use.
Further actions by Metro Mass Transit are expected to clarify their stance and their plans to prevent the continuation of the disputed development.
The company is focused on ensuring the Opera Square Bus Terminal serves its intended purpose for traders and commuters.
