The Ministry of Roads and Highways has directed the Ledzokuku Municipal Assembly to immediately remove an unauthorized billboard installed at a section of the Flowerpot Interchange.
In a press release dated August 20, 2025, the Ministry expressed concern over the installation, noting that the billboard violates multiple regulations, including the Ghana Standards Authority’s “Advertisement Specification for Outdoor Signs” (GS 847:2019), Section 5, Sections 11 and 15 of Act 540, and Section 188 of the Road Traffic Regulations, 2012 (LI 2180).
The Ministry also acknowledged a recent statement from the Students’ Loan Trust Fund, which disclaimed ownership of the billboard and cautioned against the unauthorized use of its logo.
“Through this release, the ministry calls upon the Ledzokuku Municipal Assembly to work closely with the Department of Urbans Roads for the immediate removal of the billboard,” It stated.
Assemblies across the country have been urged to collaborate with regional road agencies before issuing permits for advertisements or notices along road corridors.
The Ministry further appealed to the Advertising Association of Ghana to strictly enforce its code of conduct regarding outdoor advertising structures.
