Kojo Oppong Nkrumah revealed plans to construct 1.8 million houses nationwide, with preparations well underway in terms of documentation and logistics to kickstart the projects.
The minister outlined a goal of building forty homes in each district, with an initial focus on 35 selected districts to initiate the program.
However, Nkrumah assured that every district in the country would eventually benefit from the housing initiative.
He emphasized the government’s dedication to completing all ongoing housing projects nationwide, underscoring the importance of providing adequate housing for all citizens.
He urged local chiefs to allocate at least seven acres of land for housing developments within their districts.
