Government will finish abandoned affordable housing projects-Oppong Nkrumah

The government’s commitment to completing the numerous affordable housing projects that are distributed across the nation has been reaffirmed by the Ministry of Works and Housing.

Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, the sector minister, claims that in order to complete these projects, the government is working with private companies.

Mr. Oppong Nkrumah emphasized in a media interview that the government will make sure the funds used to build these affordable housing projects are not wasted following an examination of a housing project in Adenta, Accra.

“I’m sure you have followed the point we have made not to leave projects abandoned. And so, we are going through an exercise that seeks to ensure that many of these projects that are described as abandoned projects, we can resume work and finish them.

“We have made progress on the Saglemi Housing project, I also mentioned that we will be going to Koforidua, where the state housing company once again is picking up on one of those projects, former President J.A Kufuor’s affordable housing project, around Akwadum, they have made progress, and they will be resuming work shortly.”
