Occupants of railway lands must submit lease documents for verification
- GRDA begins review of all leases granted up to 2023
- Leaseholders must submit documents or risk forfeiture
- Review starts July 22 at GRDA’s Roman Ridge office
The Ghana Railway Development Authority (GRDA) has announced a thorough review of all railway land and asset leases issued by the Authority and the Ghana Railway Company Limited (GRCL) up to 2023.
The review, set to begin on Monday, July 22, 2025, is aimed at enhancing oversight and improving land and asset management within the railway sector.
In a public notice issued on Tuesday, July 15, the GRDA directed all individuals and institutions currently occupying railway lands or assets to participate in the review process or risk losing their leased property.
The Authority is calling on leaseholders to report to its Roman Ridge office with complete documentation, including:
-
Lease agreements issued by GRDA or GRCL
-
Payment receipts
-
Valid ID cards
“Anyone occupying railway land or assets who fails to comply with this review exercise may forfeit ownership of the property,” the notice warned.
This exercise is part of broader reforms to streamline railway land administration, ensure proper documentation, and reclaim properties not being used in line with leasing agreements.
