The government, in collaboration with Zoomlion Ghana Limited, a subsidiary of the Jospong Group, reopened the Achimota-Abofu Transfer Station on Friday, June 26, 2026, to restore waste collection services and address sanitation challenges caused by recent floods across the Greater Accra Metropolitan Area. Hon. Ahmed Ibrahim, Minister for Local Government, Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs, announced the intervention during a working visit to the facility.
Hon. Ibrahim stated that recent floods left several landfill sites inundated, preventing nearly 3,000 tricycle waste operators, known as Aboboyas, from disposing of refuse. He expressed appreciation to Dr. Joseph Siaw Agyepong, Executive Chairman of the Jospong Group, the 48 Engineers Regiment of the Ghana Armed Forces, Mr. Stan Dogbe, National Security Coordinator and Deputy Chief of Staff at the office of the President, and other stakeholders for their support. The transfer station now serves as a temporary relief point for tricycle operators.
