A billboard that appeared overnight at Accra\u2019s bustling Flowerpot Interchange, promoting the government\u2019s \u201cNo Fees Stress\u201d policy, has been removed just as swiftly.<\/p>\n

This was after being disowned by multiple state institutions and declared illegal by the Ministry of Roads and Highways.<\/p>\n

The controversial structure, which featured the logos of the Education Ministry and the Students\u2019 Loan Trust Fund (SLTF), sparked a rapid and coordinated disavowal from the agencies it claimed to represent.<\/p>\n

\"Unauthorised<\/figure>\n

Both entities denied any knowledge or authorisation of the advertisement, distancing themselves from the project and cautioning the public against its message.<\/p>\n

The Ministry of Roads and Highways escalated the matter on Wednesday, August 20, issuing a press release that condemned the billboard as a blatant violation of national advertising and road safety regulations. <\/p>\n

\"Unauthorised<\/figure>\n

The Ministry cited specific breaches of the Ghana Standards Authority\u2019s specifications, the Advertisements Act, and the Road Traffic Regulations.<\/p>\n

The Ministry\u2019s statement included a direct order to the Ledzokuku Municipal Assembly (LeKMA), within whose jurisdiction the interchange falls, to coordinate with the Department of Urban Roads for the billboard\u2019s \u201cimmediate removal.\u201d<\/p>\n
