The move follows an official request by Mr Dodzi Addison Mornyuie, the District Chief Executive (DCE), and a subsequent engagement with representatives from the Authority’s headquarters.
The stakeholders were received at the District Assembly in Adidome to begin preliminary consultations on the initiative.
The meeting also brought together executives of all major driver unions operating within Central Tongu to discuss the relevance and feasibility of the proposed office.
Mr Mornyuie said the district’s growing population and increasing number of vehicles required a decentralized approach to service delivery, adding that residents currently travel long distances to access DVLA services such as driver licensing, vehicle registration, and renewals.
“The establishment of a DVLA office in Central Tongu will ease access to services, improve regulatory compliance, and serve neighbouring districts as well,” he said. “It will also make service delivery faster, more affordable, and more efficient.”
The Assembly had pledged its full commitment to supporting the process and is optimistic that the necessary approvals will be secured to ensure timely implementation.
