President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is set to commission a 320-unit housing project for the Ghana Police Service on Tuesday, July 23, 2024. The ceremony will take place at the National Police Training School in Tesano, Accra.
Initiated in 2018, the housing project comprises seven blocks of two-bedroom apartments and thirteen blocks of three-bedroom apartments, totaling sixteen apartments per block.
Additionally, the project includes a multipurpose sports facility, a kindergarten school, and other auxiliary residential facilities.
A press release dated July 19, 2024, and signed by Elvis Adjei-Baah, the Public Relations Officer of the Ministry of Works and Housing, underscored the project’s significance. “The completion and utilization of this housing project will augment the government’s other housing programs aimed at increasing the residential stock for public service workers,” the statement read.
The Ministry emphasized that this initiative represents a substantial effort by the government to enhance the living conditions of public service workers and address the national housing deficit.
“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 are expected to significantly improve the welfare of police personnel, 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, marking a milestone in the government’s commitment to addressing the housing needs of its citizens.
