Ever seen or heard of "Post no bill" and wondered what it meant? Well, many District and Metropolitan assemblies have had to grapple with posters of all kinds and sizes, pasted on road infrastructure and other public places.
In Accra, the metropolitan assembly which has for years struggled to prevent posters being used to deface public infrastructure, appears to have found a solution.
The A.M.A usually rips off these posters, wash the walls of the interchange and finally paint the walls after several media reports.
But right afterwards, new posters find their way onto the walls again, in total disregard of the assembly’s efforts.
Has the Accra Metropolitan Chief executive, Alfred Oko Vanderpuye says:
“That goes to show that Ghanaians have a great respect for national policies. Ghanaians are people with a high sense of commitment and responsibility. When we create that standard and platform, they will rise to the occasion.”
Although the designer of the national flag, Theodosia Okoh, is unaware of the development, she is not surprised that Ghanaians respect the national colours.
“It doesn’t surprise me; people who are around now understand why things are changing very fast. If it were a long time ago, they will draw the flag and you wouldn’t pass and notice it, but because of what is happening, people are getting to know this is for the nation.”
Accra Mayor, Alfred Oko Vanderpuye, disclosed how this idea came about.
“One Sunday morning I called my people and said let’s go to Ako Adjei and do something very innovative. And the President and I have had discussions about necessary arrangements to befit us as a nation and a city.”
