And, although he had already deployed many police personnel to the grounds of the inauguration to ensure security, law, and order, the Inspector General of Police, Dr. George Akuffo Dampare, was forced at a point to help in the work itself.
In images shared by Daily Graphic on Facebook, the IGP was captured directing traffic at a certain part of the city.
This is believed to have happened as he headed to the Black Star Square to join other invited guests and dignitaries for the inauguration of John Mahama as the president of Ghana.
"The IGP stepped out of his car en route to the inauguration grounds to direct traffic," the caption of the post on Facebook said.
The momentous and historic occasion has drawn significant attention both domestically and internationally.
It is expected to be attended by 21 Heads of State, alongside three vice presidents, four ministers, and 24 envoys.
According to a statement from the Ministry of Information, the swearing-in ceremony will also feature a number of dignitaries from across the world, including 21 Heads of State from Africa and beyond.
Other dignitaries from across all sectors of the economy, including foreign leaders and security service personnel are also in attendance.
