President Akufo Addo to commission 320-unit housing project for the Ghana Police Service

On Tuesday, July 23, 2024, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo will officially commission a 320-unit housing project for the Ghana Police Service at the National Police Training School in Tesano, Accra.

The project, which commenced in 2018, includes seven blocks of two-bedroom apartments and thirteen blocks of three-bedroom apartments, totaling sixteen apartments per block. Additionally, the complex features a multipurpose sports facility, a kindergarten school, and various auxiliary residential facilities.

In a press release dated July 19, 2024, Elvis Adjei-Baah, the Public Relations Officer of the Ministry of Works and Housing, underscored the importance of this initiative.

“The completion and utilisation 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 Ministry highlighted that this project is a significant step by the government to improve living conditions for public service workers and address the country’s 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 aim to provide essential accommodation for police personnel, enhancing their welfare and 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, showcasing the government’s dedication to addressing the housing needs of its citizens.
