The Minister of Works and Housing, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, has assured Ghanaians of government’s commitment to complete the Saglemi Housing Project.
The Saglemi Housing Project, which commenced in 2012, has encountered significant setbacks primarily due to concerns regarding the contract amount. The government announced a request for private proposals for the completion and operationalization of the Saglemi Housing project.
The deadline for submission and evaluation of this proposal is from July 9 to 15 this year. In an interview on Accra based TV station, Mr Oppong Nkrumah affirmed government’s preparedness to explore opportunities to partner with potential investors to ensure the successful completion and utilization of the project.
“The buildings and technical expressions are at various stages of completion; some are at the foundation level…and the money is finished. Now as it sits, the state is of the view that it should not be left to rot. That is why the President [Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo] has asked that we go through a process to identify a private investor and or private investors who have technical and financial competencies to help us finish it and to operationalize it”, he said.
