The Member of Parliament for Evalue-Ajomoro-Gwira, Kofi Arko Nokoe, has delivered 150 solar-powered streetlights for installation along the Axim–Ayisakro–Dadwen–Kegyina Highway, in a move aimed at improving nighttime visibility and road safety across the constituency.
The lights, which arrived in the constituency this week, will be installed at intervals along the stretch of the highway that links several farming and fishing communities. Once installed, they are expected to improve visibility for motorists and pedestrians after dark and to help reduce the risk of accidents on a road that residents say has long been hazardous at night.
Speaking after the delivery, Mr. Nokoe said the project forms part of his commitment to improving basic infrastructure in the constituency and to addressing the safety concerns raised by residents during his engagements with them.
“Road safety is a shared responsibility, but ensuring that our highways are visible at night is a basic duty we owe our people,” the MP said. “These solar lights will not only make traveling safer for drivers and pedestrians but will also support economic activity, as traders and commuters can move more freely in the evenings.”
The solar-powered lights are expected to cut reliance on the national grid and reduce electricity costs, while requiring minimal maintenance. Community leaders along the Axim–Ayisakro–Dadwen–Kegyina route welcomed the delivery, describing it as timely.
A resident of Dadwen, who spoke to this reporter, said the highway had become dangerous for pedestrians and schoolchildren who travel after dusk. “We have been appealing for lights on this road for years. This is good news for all of us,” she said.
The MP’s office indicated that installation would begin soon, with local artisans expected to be engaged in the process. Mr. Nokoe urged residents to protect the installations and to report any faults to his office for prompt attention.
The delivery adds to a growing list of infrastructure interventions in the Evalue-Ajomoro-Gwira constituency, where access to reliable lighting and road safety measures has been a persistent concern.
