Accra Ready For Christmas | General News

A team member of the Korley Klottey Rapid Response Team spotted at the Ridge Roundabout, Mr Sam Quarcoe, said the project would be extended to various locations in Kumasi, Koforidua, Takoradi and other places in the country.

He said the project was officially launched with a rally which started at the Ako-Adjei Interchange and ended at Park 100.

He said this year's edition, dubbed “Tis the season to sparkle”, would end on January 9, 2023.
“It has just begun and soon people will catch the vibe and spend some time with their families at the various locations,” he said.

A parent, Mr Kenneth Biney, who was at the Ridge Roundabout with his children, said the initiative offered parents time to bond with their children. He added that the decorations were unique pieces that would not only bring the cheer and joyfulness of Christmas but would also promote Ghana globally.

He, however, expressed dissatisfaction with the number of people around and attributed it to the economy.

Another parent, Mr Jude Blay, who was spotted moving his two little girls from one decorated couch piece to another, said he had come to spend about 30 minutes.

He said it was good to see only a few people around as it gave his girls the luxury of sitting and taking pictures with every artefact.

Light-up

The 'Light Up Accra' initiative forms part of the Accra Beautification Project introduced by the Accra Metropolitan Assembly and other partners, including Jandel Limited (a décor, luxury and lifestyle experience company) and Ecobank.
