Motorists and residents may have noticed roadworks underway in parts of the Tema Metropolis, where potholes are being repaired and drainage systems improved. During a tour of the affected areas, the Tema Metropolitan Director of Urban Roads, Mr Benjamin Bampoh, inspected the progress of work and outlined the repairs completed so far. He explained that the work would be carried out in stages and assured residents that all the planned works are expected to be completed by December. The roadworks are being undertaken with the support and leadership of the Mayor of Tema, Hon. Ebi Bright, as part of efforts to improve road safety, ease movement and address drainage challenges across the Metropolis. Residents and motorists are encouraged to exercise caution around the work sites and cooperate with the teams as the improvements progress.

*Defining Africa’s Future Starts Where People Live - In the Communities.* What an honour to welcome presidents, royalty, diplomats, investors, and traditional leaders to Elevate Africa - on the ancestral land of the Ga Mantse, King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II. My message was simple: Africa doesn't lack vision. What we lack is the connective tissue between the big plan and real life - and that tissue is local governance. The communiqué means nothing until it survives the journey to the community. To our young people - the builders - this gathering earns its place only when we prioritize you. Let this be a communiqué of building, judged not in the hall, but in the markets, the classrooms, and real opportunity. Tema - the city at the Centre of the World - welcomes you. Akwaaba!

Following our stakeholder engagements with companies and agencies in Tema, I took the conversation further by visiting MPS, Pioneer Foods and Multipack as part of our industrial visits’ initiative. These visits were enlightening, giving me a clearer understanding of the issues raised during our engagements and a deeper appreciation of the companies’ contributions to Tema’s growth. At all three companies, I emphasised the need to prioritise Tema in their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) projects. Through discussions with the Tema Metropolitan Assembly, we can align these investments with local development priorities and ensure they deliver meaningful benefits to our communities. Together, we can build stronger partnerships for a better Tema. #MPS #Pioneerfoods #Multipack

Beyond the roundtable stakeholder engagements, my team and I paid working visits to MPS, Pioneer Food Cannery Ltd., and Multi Pac Ltd. as part of efforts to build a sustainable working relationship between the Assembly and industry. Road network challenges and trucks parking on the shoulders of the roads, affecting service delivery, were among the issues discussed extensively across all three visits. I also tabled my concerns about the poor CSR relationship between the Assembly and organizations within the Metropolis, which has not benefited the residents of Tema in any desirable way. It is our mandate as an Assembly to establish partnerships that will bring development to the people who host the industrial sector. As an assurance, I stated that the TMA is in full swing to address the major road infrastructure, sewage, security, nuisance, compliance, and other utility challenges affecting both industry and residents. These efforts are aimed not only at improving service delivery within the Metropolis but also at giving Tema the representation it deserves on the global front as an industrial hub and port city at the centre of the world. #partnership #TMA #JM

The Tema Metropolitan Assembly (TMA) held an intersectoral stakeholder engagement, providing partners with a platform to share their activities, challenges and future plans for making Tema better. The session formed part of a series of engagements planned by the Assembly to make it more accessible and responsive to its partners and residents. Stakeholders agreed that strong partnerships are essential to positioning Tema on the world stage. The Mayor of Tema, Hon. Ebi Bright, assured businesses and organisations of the Assembly’s continued support and commitment to collaboration. #BuildingTemaTogether #StakeholderEngagement #PartnershipForDevelopment #TMA

It is a memorable day for me, as Mayor of Tema, to extend warm greetings to Ghana and to the rest of Africa on this auspicious occasion of Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Day - Founder's Day. Today, we pause to honour the memory of a man whose vision transcended the borders of our nation and whose dream continues to inspire generations across the African continent and the diaspora. This day is deeply personal. I stand on the shoulders of a giant. Nkrumah showed us that leadership is not about comfort - it is about Sacrifice. It is not about Division - it is about Unity. It is not about Today - it is about Tomorrow. His famous declaration, "The Black Star of Africa will Shine" was not mere rhetoric. It was a prophecy of hope - a call to action for every Ghanaian to rise above mediocrity and build a nation worthy of its destiny. Fellow Ghanaians, brothers and sisters of Africa, let us rise to the occasion. Let us be worthy of the legacy we have inherited. Let us build the Ghana and the Africa that Kwame Nkrumah dreamed of - united, free, and prosperous. Happy Founder's Day! God bless Ghana. God bless Africa.

I had the privilege of joining my two senior sisters, the Minister for Tourism, Hon. Abla Dzifa Gomashie, and the Director-General of the Ghana Prisons Service, Mrs. Patience Baffoe-Bonnie, Esq., at the launch of the Ghana Prisons Service Television Station. The occasion was truly enlightening, and I enjoyed every bit of it. Watching the launch unfold, and hearing about the impressive and growing list of initiatives being undertaken by the Ghana Prisons Service, was a powerful reminder that when women lead, they can make a real and lasting difference. A big kudos to Mrs. Baffoe-Bonnie and her team for this great feat. What better way to tell the real stories of the Ghana Prisons Service, showcase its transformation and highlight its many initiatives than through its own channel, using its own people and telling its own stories? Congratulations to the Ghana Prisons Service Television team. This is indeed a significant milestone, and I wish you every success as you take this story to the world.

Today, I had the honour of standing alongside two remarkable women I proudly call my senior sisters , the Minister for Tourism, Hon. Abla Dzifa Gomashie, and the Director-General of the Ghana Prisons Service, Mrs. Patience Baffoe-Bonnie, Esq. , at the launch of the Ghana Prisons Service Television Station. It was more than a launch; it was a celebration of vision, leadership, courage and transformation. As I watched the programme unfold and listened to the remarkable initiatives taking place within the Ghana Prisons Service, I was deeply inspired. It was a powerful reminder that when women lead with vision, purpose and courage, they don't just occupy positions, they create opportunities, transform institutions and leave lasting footprints. A huge congratulations to Mrs. Patience Baffoe-Bonnie and her team on this remarkable achievement. What better way to tell the real stories of the Ghana Prisons Service than to have its own television station, its own people and its own voice telling the story from within? There are stories of transformation that deserve to be told. There are people whose lives are being changed. There are innovations and initiatives that the world needs to see. And now, the Ghana Prisons Service has a powerful platform to tell those stories. When women lead, they open doors. When women lead, they build. When women lead, they transform. And when women lead with purpose, generations benefit. Congratulations once again to the Ghana Prisons Service. May this new chapter amplify the good work, inspire many more lives and take the story of transformation beyond the walls of the Service to the world. Women are not just making history. Women are making a difference.
