President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is set to inaugurate a 320-unit housing project for the Ghana Police Service.
The commissioning will take place on Tuesday, July 23, 2024, at the National Police Training School in Tesano, Accra.
The 320-unit housing project, initiated in 2018, consists of seven blocks of two-bedroom apartments and thirteen blocks of three-bedroom apartments, with each block housing sixteen apartments.
Additionally, the project includes a multipurpose sports facility, a kindergarten school, and other auxiliary residential facilities.
In a press release signed by the Public Relations Officer of the Ministry of Works and Housing, Elvis Adjei-Baah on Friday, July 19, 2024, the Ministry emphasized the importance of the project.
“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 statement further highlighted that the project is a significant effort by the government to improve the living conditions of public service workers and address the country’s housing deficit.
The Ministry stressed that this initiative is a crucial step toward 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,” it 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.
