President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is scheduled to commission a 320-unit housing project for the Ghana Police Service on Tuesday, July 23, 2024. The ceremony will take place at the National Police Training School in Tesano, Accra.
The project, initiated in 2018, includes seven blocks of two-bedroom apartments and thirteen blocks of three-bedroom apartments, with each block containing sixteen apartments. Additionally, the project features a multipurpose sports facility, a kindergarten school, and other auxiliary residential facilities.
According to a press release dated Friday, July 19, 2024, and signed by the Public Relations Officer of the Ministry of Works and Housing, Elvis Adjei-Baah, the Ministry emphasized the project’s importance in augmenting the government’s housing programs aimed at increasing residential stock for public service workers.
“The completion and utilization of this housing project will augment the government’s other housing programmes that are being rolled out to increase the residential stock of public service workers,” the statement read.
The Ministry highlighted that this initiative is a significant effort by the government to improve the living conditions of public service workers and address the housing deficit in the country. “This project will reduce accommodation challenges in our sprawling cities and ultimately bridge the national housing deficit, which stands at 1.8 million housing units,” the release noted.
The new housing units will provide much-needed accommodation for police personnel, enhancing their welfare and enabling them to perform their duties more effectively.
The commissioning ceremony will be attended by high-ranking government officials, members of the Ghana Police Service, and other stakeholders in the housing sector. This event is anticipated to be a milestone, underscoring the government’s commitment to addressing the housing needs of its citizens.
