President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is scheduled to inaugurate a 320-unit housing project for the Ghana Police Service on Tuesday, July 23, 2024, at the National Police Training School in Tesano, Accra.
The housing project, which was initiated in 2018, comprises seven blocks of two-bedroom apartments and thirteen blocks of three-bedroom apartments, with each block consisting of sixteen apartments. The project also includes a multipurpose sports facility, a kindergarten school, and other auxiliary residential facilities.
According to a press release issued by the Public Relations Officer of the Ministry of Works and Housing, Elvis Adjei-Baah, on Friday, July 19, 2024, the project is a significant milestone in the government’s efforts to address the country’s housing deficit.
“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 emphasized that the project is a crucial step towards improving the living conditions of public service workers and alleviating accommodation challenges in Ghana’s urban areas.
“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 statement noted.
The new housing units are expected to 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.
