Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has emphasized the critical importance of an efficient land administration system to Ghana’s economic growth, social harmony, and investment potential.
Speaking at the commissioning of the new Lands Commission Head Office in Accra on Monday, November 25, Dr. Bawumia outlined the challenges the new facility is designed to address, including the reliance on manual records, the movement of files across different offices, and operational congestion.
He reaffirmed the government’s commitment to strengthening land administration by focusing on three core areas: modern infrastructure, digitalization, and the automation of business processes.
According to him, the completion of the state-of-the-art facility underscores the government’s dedication to achieving these goals and creating a more transparent and customer-focused land management system.
“The Commission has been heavily reliant on manual records and the physical movement of files, sometimes even requiring crossing the road to another office. I have consistently noted that we cannot progress without addressing these challenges,” Dr. Bawumia remarked.
“Today, I am pleased that we have delivered on our promise to complete this modern head office complex for the Lands Commission.”
He described the new building as more than just a physical structure, calling it a pivotal step toward establishing a robust land administration system.
“This facility aligns with the first pillar of our strategy—modern office infrastructure—and demonstrates our commitment to creating a conducive environment for effective land management.”
Dr. Bawumia reiterated that the government’s efforts over the past eight years have been anchored on building a comprehensive system that integrates infrastructure, digitalization, and automation to enhance efficiency, transparency, and service delivery.
“This modern facility symbolizes a collective mission to transform land administration in Ghana, ensuring it is efficient, transparent, and customer-centric,” he stated.
