The Ministry emphasized that this development marks a significant effort by the government to improve living conditions for public service workers and address the housing shortage in the country.
“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 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 senior government officials, members of the Ghana Police Service, and stakeholders in the housing sector. The event is expected to be a significant milestone, showcasing the government’s dedication to meeting the housing needs of its citizens.
