    Consultants working on the Obetsebi Lamptey Interchange project have raised alarms over the theft of vital construction materials by some Ghanaians.

    These incidents have seen streetlight components, bolts, nuts, railings, and metal slabs being stolen from the site, potentially jeopardizing the quality and safety of the project.

    Speaking to Channel One News, the resident engineer disclosed that while the thefts are not expected to delay the scheduled completion of the project in September, they are a serious concern.

    He emphasized that these brazen acts of theft are not only hampering progress but also heightening the risks of malfunctioning infrastructure in the future.

    Accra’s long-standing issue with malfunctioning streetlights has been further exacerbated by these thefts, with city authorities urged to step up efforts to safeguard construction sites.

    The engineers working on the project have called for a national response to secure construction materials and prevent further losses.

    Despite these challenges, they remain optimistic that the Obetsebi Lamptey Interchange will be completed on time.
