The Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Dr. Johnson Asiama, has confirmed that he is operating from the newly constructed headquarters of the central bank, despite the project being nearly completed.
Speaking before Parliament, Dr. Asiama explained that his predecessor had already moved into the new facility, which was about 98% complete at the time.
“Yes, my predecessor moved into the new headquarters because it was allowed as the project is about 98% complete. It is almost done, and so my predecessor moved into it,” he stated.
Dr. Asiama further explained that upon assuming office, he had no choice but to continue using the building while the remaining aspects of the project were finalised.
“When I took over, I had no choice but to also move into it while we continue all the other processes,” he added.
The construction of the new Bank of Ghana headquarters has been a topic of public debate, with concerns raised over its cost and necessity.
However, Dr. Asiama’s comments suggest that the facility is already in use as final works are completed.
