Residents of Otinibi in the Greater Accra Region are raising alarm over their deteriorating road network, describing it as a major risk to lives and livelihoods.

The Chief of Otinibi, Nii Adjeikweidzamansah IV, is leading calls on the government to urgently fix what he describes as “death trap” roads.

He made the appeal during a milestone celebration organised by the Free Food for People’s Facility, an initiative that provides daily meals to vulnerable groups in the community.

Beyond the road concerns, the chief commended the organisation for restoring hope in the area, particularly through the construction of a new school to replace a collapsing structure.

The Free Food for People’s Facility continues to expand its humanitarian footprint, reaching thousands of vulnerable individuals across multiple countries.

Facility Manager, Susana Tutu Ataboakye, says the initiative operates in Ghana, India, Nepal, and South Africa, serving millions of meals to children and the elderly.

She is, however, appealing to the public for support, stressing that many more children still go hungry and need assistance.

According to Susana, the facility has experienced remarkable growth over the years.

She noted that when she assumed management, about 900 children and elderly persons were benefiting from the programme. That number has now more than doubled, with over 2,000 people receiving daily meals.

She describes this progress as a fulfilment of the founder’s vision to fight hunger and restore dignity.

Meanwhile, philanthropist and sponsor of the initiative, Ernest Acheampong, is encouraging beneficiaries to take their education seriously.

He urged the students to remain focused, work hard, and grow into responsible leaders who will give back to society.

As calls for improved infrastructure intensify, residents say fixing the Otinibi road will not only save lives but also support vital social interventions like the Free Food programme.
