President to commission 320 new homes for Police

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is set to commission a 320-unit housing project for the Ghana Police Service.

This commissioning will take place on Tuesday, July 23, 2024 at the National Police Training School in Tesano, Accra.

The 320-unit housing project, which began in 2018, comprises seven blocks of two-bedroom apartments and thirteen blocks of three-bedroom apartments, with each block containing sixteen apartments.

In addition to the residential units, the project features a multipurpose sports facility, a kindergarten school, and other auxiliary residential facilities.

In a press release dated Friday, July 19, 2024 and signed by the Public Relations Officer of the Ministry of Works and Housing, Elvis Adjei-Baah, the Ministry highlighted the significance of the project.

“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.

It said the project represents a substantial effort by government to enhance the living conditions of public service workers and to address the housing deficit in the country.

The Ministry further emphasised that this initiative is a critical step towards reducing 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,” the release 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.

It is anticipated to be a milestone event, highlighting government’s commitment to addressing the housing needs of its citizens.
