A 320-unit housing complex for the Ghana Police Service is scheduled to be put into service by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
The National Police Training School in Tesano, Accra, will host this commissioning on Tuesday, July 23, 2024.
The 320-unit housing project was started in 2018 and is divided into thirteen blocks of three-bedroom apartments and seven blocks of two-bedroom flats, with sixteen apartments each block. The project includes residential apartments as well as a kindergarten school, a multipurpose sports center, and other ancillary residential facilities.
The Ministry of Works and Housing emphasized the importance of the project in a press release dated Friday, July 19, 2024, and signed by Elvis Adjei-Baah, the Public Relations Officer.“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.
It said the project represents a substantial effort by the government to enhance the living conditions of public service workers and to address the housing deficit in the country.
The Ministry further emphasized that this initiative is a critical step towards reducing 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 release noted.
The new housing units will not only provide much-needed accommodation for police personnel but also enhance their welfare, 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. It is anticipated to be a milestone event, highlighting the government’s commitment to addressing the housing needs of its citizens.
