The Member of Parliament for Damongo, Hon. Samuel Abu Jinapor, has replaced the old streetlights along the streets of Damongo township with new ones.
The streetlights replacement exercise officially commenced on Monday 28th July 2025 starting from the Disco 7 road through to Canteen Road, where repair crews began restoring and replacing faulty streetlights that have left residents in darkness for months.
The project represents a direct response to persistent complaints from constituents on Spear FM about deteriorating lighting conditions throughout the township.
The Damongo constituency NPP Secretary and the Communications Director are providing on-site supervision to ensure efficient project implementation.
For months, residents along the Damongo/Canteen stretch and other primary routes in Damongo have navigated unsafe conditions due to the absence of functional streetlights. The lighting deficiency has contributed to heightened security risks, leaving pedestrians and motorists particularly vulnerable during nighttime hours.
The deteriorating infrastructure has been a source of growing concern among community members, who have repeatedly called for urgent intervention through Spear FM to restore basic safety measures along these critical transportation corridors.
Hon. Jinapor, who serves as the ranking member on Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee, has demonstrated his commitment to addressing fundamental infrastructure needs within his constituency through this initiative.
The streetlight restoration project is expected to significantly enhance security conditions and restore confidence among residents who rely on these routes for daily transportation and economic activities.
