Accra: A structure intended to be situated beneath the Flowerpot Interchange on the Spintex Road has drawn public attention after the Greater Accra Regional Minister, Linda Ocloo, visited the site and ordered an immediate halt to construction works. According to Linda Ocloo in a Facebook post, the positioning of the project raises serious concerns about right-of-way issues and the potential obstruction of critical public infrastructure.
According to Ghana Web, the developer of the project, which was intended to be a washing bay and a parking space, Georgina Opoku, also known as Asor, insists she followed all laid-down procedures and obtained the necessary permits before commencing the project. In an interview with Channel One TV on February 10, 2026, she stated that the permit was issued to her by the Ayawaso West Municipal Assembly.
Asor explained, 'Somewhere in October 2025, the highway and assemblies called me to the assembly. They had an orientation with me for about two hours, showing the videos and whatever they wanted at this particular space. So after that, on November 18, 2025, I had the permit from the assembly.' She appealed to President John Dramani Mahama and First Lady Lordina Mahama to intervene, citing significant financial investments already made into the project intended to serve as a washing bay and parking space.
Asor detailed her expenses, saying, 'Electricity, I spent GHS35,000. ECG did not collect the money; they wrote what I was supposed to buy, and I bought them myself. So for electricity and water alone, I spent GHS50,000. The blocks, I had 2,000 blocks, the sand, the chipping, the cement, and the workers that I paid. The washing bay machine, one is $19,000, and the room, that is $11,000. I am just pleading with the listening President. I know he is a father. Mama Lordina, please help me.'
However, information available indicates that the permit issued by the Ayawaso West Municipal Assembly to Georgina Opoku, also known as Asor, to put up the structure beneath the Flowerpot Interchange on the Spintex Road has since been revoked.
