Ghana’s Minister for Local Government, Ahmed Ibrahim, has presented a report to President Mahama proposing significant changes to local government structures. The report recommends elevating 20 existing districts to full municipal status, granting them increased administrative and financial autonomy. Additionally, the plan suggests upgrading 12 current municipalities to metropolitan status, signifying a higher level of urban development and responsibility. This restructuring aims to improve local governance and service delivery across the country. The President will now review the recommendations for final approval. If approved, these changes will impact administrative boundaries and resource allocation nationwide. The move reflects a broader effort to decentralize power and promote regional development within Ghana.
