Pokuase, Ghana
suburb in Ga West Municipal Assembly, Greater Accra Region, Ghana
Pokuase, also spelled Pokoasi, is a suburb of Accra, the capital city of Ghana and spans the area from Pokuase, leading off the Accra-Kumasi motorway (or the old Nsawam Road) on the right coming from Accra central; and leading off the motorway at Pokuase Junction and rising to ‘Okai Kwei Hill’, on the left coming from town. It is a mixture of lively retail shopping areas, with local stores, bars or 'drinking spots', bus/taxi stations, and a market. It also has many hotels, guest houses and rental apartments, such as the eco-chic Legassi Gardens Apartments, and 'high-end' developing residential estates, such as Ofankor Hills Estates, Franko Estates, the long-established executive gated community of ACP Estates, and HFS Estates which borders the former Gua Koo Sacred Grove in Pokuase.
Pokuase Junction is a busy bus stop for public transport, including buses (trotros) and shared-taxis, along the Accra-Kumasi motorway. The large bus station provides frequent transport to all sides of Accra, and transport runs as far as Medina, Tema and Spintex Road. Accra is the 11th-largest metropolitan area in Africa. Pokuase will soon be linked, by the completion in October 2020 of the 4-tier Pokuase Interchange, to Kwabenya, and Ritz Junction; and will be more accessible for Academic City University, Webster University Ghana Campus, The University of Ghana Legon, Ajiringano, and East Legon, which will then be a short drive away.
There are also a number of schools in the area, including The Hill Top Academy, Disciplined Child School, and The Spelmore Institute on College Lane just off the Pokuase Interchange. The Spelmore Institute is an international school for children aged 5–16, teaching the British Curriculum and preparing students for International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) examinations.
The American founded NGO The Women's Trust has its head offices in Pokuase Town, as does the Ghanaian/American NGO Ghana Sustainable Aid Project.
