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 320-unit housing project, which began in 2018, comprises seven blocks of two-bedroom apartments and 13 blocks of three-bedroom apartments, each containing 16 flats.
In addition to the residential units, the project features a multipurpose sports facility, a kindergarten school, and other auxiliary residential facilities.
The commissioning will take place at the National Police Training School in Tesano, Accra.
In a statement issued on 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 project’s significance.
“The completion and utilization 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 further emphasized 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 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.
