They can\u2019t disrespect the custodians of this land and do what they want,\u201d Hussein concluded.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Some of the signages in question were spotted at\u00a0&#8216;trotro&#8217; and taxi teriminals and another at Banku Junction. A few have been demolished\u00a0while others have some of the plates removed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Assemblyman for the area, Alhaji Peter Tee, in an interview with Citi News commended the actions of the youth.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cIn fact, the youth in this community are very angry. We all sat down here with the chiefs and authorities from the ministry and we presented the names to them. What we gave them is to represent the custodians and the ancestors of this land-not just any name. What is the meaning of Bonsam Abla Street? We all know Bonsam is an evil name and that is not what we presented to them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Alhaji Peter insists that until the authorities come back to sit with them again to rectify the names, the youth will continue to reject what they have mounted.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/4cd.e16.myftpupload.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/street-names-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-160765 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/4cd.e16.myftpupload.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/street-names-1.jpg\" alt=\"street names (1)\" width=\"720\" height=\"638\" srcset=\"https:\/\/citifmonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/street-names-1.jpg 720w, https:\/\/citifmonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/street-names-1-300x266.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Meanwhile, the Deputy Minister of Local Government and Rural Development, Nii Lante Vanderpuye has condemned the actions of the youth. He advised that they exercise restraint or face the full rigors of the law.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cIf anyone thinks he has a problem with the naming of the streets, they should contact their assemblies to go through the right systems and get the names corrected. Even in my own community, my name was spelt wrongly but that doesn\u2019t mean we should take the law into their hands and start destroying government property. Anyone who does that will be dealt with\u201d he warned.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Mr. Vanderpuye further revealed that the ministry has so far completed the nationwide piloting of the project and will soon roll out an identification platform for proper identification of all physical structures around the country and enhance revenue mobilization and collection.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It will also facilitate development in various local assemblies and create the necessary platform for effective accountability.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8211;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">By: Farida Shaibu\/citifmonline.com\/Ghana<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some irate youth at Shukura in the Ablekuma South District of\u00a0 the Greater Accra Region, have started demolishing\u00a0street-naming signages in the area.
