Vice President Prof. Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, alongside the management of Metro Mass Transit Limited (MMTL) and the Ministry of Transport, commissioned 100 new buses on behalf of His Excellency, President John Dramani Mahama.
The ceremony was held on Friday, May 22, 2026.
According to her, the government intends to revitalise Ghana’s transportation sector by expanding safe and accessible public transport.
This is part of a larger intervention to deploy 300 buses nationwide.
The buses have been fully registered, insured, inspected, and prepared for deployment to high-demand areas.
She commended the management and staff of MMTL, led by Managing Director Kale Caesar, as well as the Ministry of Transport and partners, especially MAC Ghana, for their efforts in making this initiative possible.
She believes an efficient transport system is essential to national development.
She noted that this intervention aims to ease commuter burdens, improve accessibility, and provide more reliable and affordable options while restoring dignity and confidence in the public transport system.
She also expressed the hope that, as part of our long-term industrialisation agenda, Ghana would increasingly move towards local participation in the manufacturing and assembly of transport components.
The Vice President urged management and staff to ensure proper maintenance and disciplined operation of the buses; public investment must be matched by accountability and quality service delivery.
Commuters deserve a transport system that is safe, reliable, and respectful of their needs.
She added that the commissioning of these buses reflects the government’s broader focus on infrastructure improvement and public service delivery.
