The company inherited a massive debt of over GH₵125 million and numerous damaged and scrapped buses. Despite these challenges, Mr. Ceaser is determined to restore the company’s operations and improve the conditions of service.
Speaking to workers in Cape Coast, Mr. Ceaser assured staff that the current administration, led by President John Dramani Mahama, is committed to reviving the transport sector without discrimination and to the satisfaction of all Ghanaians. He emphasized that the government is determined to make Metro Mass Transit attractive again to Ghanaians.
The company plans to revamp its operations by introducing over 500 new buses before the end of 2025. The fleet will include mini-buses to boost efficiency and coverage. Mr. Ceaser highlighted that a strong maintenance culture will be the hallmark of the company’s new approach. “Metro Mass will rise again with discipline, structure, and accountability,” he added.
Mr. Ceaser also assured workers that all outstanding salaries and arrears would be paid immediately, alongside a salary increment. This move is expected to boost worker morale and productivity.
Deputy Managing Director Haroun Apaw-Wiredu warned workers against financial misappropriation, emphasizing that the new leadership will not tolerate laziness or misconduct. “The era of workers pocketing company funds is over. We expect discipline and respectful conduct towards passengers,” Mr. Apaw-Wiredu stated.
The Central Regional Manageress of Metro Mass Transit, Mrs. Elsie Bart-Addison, commended President Mahama for introducing reforms. She pledged to work hard to make Metro Mass Transit attractive in the Central Region. With a renewed focus on discipline, structure, and accountability, Metro Mass Transit is poised to rise again and provide efficient and reliable transportation services to Ghanaians.
