The Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) has kicked off its momentous 125th-anniversary celebration with the grand unveiling of a special commemorative logo.
Under the theme “125 Years of Local Governance: Strengthening Community Resilience and Sustainable Development of the City of Accra,” this quasquicentennial celebration promises a series of vibrant events to showcase the city’s cosmopolitan nature and honor its impressive legacy.
The launch event featured the first female Mayor in 123 years, Hon Elizabeth Sackey, who highlighted the importance of building resilient cities and emphasized the AMA’s commitment to environmentally-friendly practices. She praised the efforts of past leaders, dedicated public servants, and citizens who have contributed to Accra’s prosperity and called on all residents to actively participate in the governance of the city.
The Chairman of the occasion, Nii Ahene Nunoo II, underscored the significance of a clean and orderly environment for the well-being of the community and urged adherence to the Assembly’s rules and regulations.
The 125th anniversary celebration will culminate in November and will include a diverse range of activities such as a symposium, clean-up campaigns, fundraising dinner, health screening, sports festival, business summit, float, food fair, and health walk.
