The Minister of Works and Housing, Mr. Francis Asenso-Boakye, expressed his satisfaction with the progress of the construction works of the police housing project at the Tesano National Police Training School in Accra.
The $ 46 million project aims to provide housing for police officers.
“Currently, there is a housing deficit of over two million units in the country, and I am happy that these 320 police units are helping to reduce the housing deficit,” the minister said.
Mr Asenso-Boakye said this during a working visit to the project site yesterday.
He also visited the residential areas of the airport and Roman Ridge, both in Accra, to inspect the work of 68 housing units for civil servants.
Project profile
The 320 police units will consist of 20 four-story residential buildings that will contain two- and three-bedroom apartments.
The project, which is 65% complete, will also include a community center, kindergarten, soccer field and tennis court, among other facilities.
The state-funded project, executed by Amandi Holdings Limited, started in March 2019 and is expected to end in December 2022.
It is part of the third phase of the Security Services Housing Program, which began in 2018 and is expected to end in December 2023.
The minister said the police housing project was a major intervention that would increase the housing stock for the men and women in the service.
He said the government intends to implement other housing programs across the country to reduce the housing deficit.
“Very soon, Ghanaians will hear from me about the government’s new affordable housing program which will also significantly help address housing issues,” he said.
Calendar
Amandi’s project manager, Mr. Salim Soul, said that currently work is underway on 16 buildings, some of which are in the final stages of completion, others at the foundation level.
“I hope that by December 2022 we will complete all the work on the project from residential, public, asphalt roads, green park, two-meter walls and gates, water supply, drainage , electricity and all underground systems that will help maintain the quality of the project.
“When completed, we will have 320 families living in the apartments and the facilities will be useful not only to the police community but also to surrounding communities,” he said.
