Accra, Ghana – On 23rd July 2024, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo inaugurated 320 new housing units for the Police Service in Tesano, Accra. This significant event underscores the government’s commitment to improving the living conditions of Ghana’s security personnel.
“These modern housing units are a testament to our dedication to providing secure and comfortable homes for our police officers,” President Akufo-Addo stated.
Modern Housing Units for Police Officers
The newly commissioned housing units in Tesano include a mix of two-bedroom and three-bedroom apartments. They are equipped with an officers’ mess, a social centre, multipurpose playing courts, and a kindergarten. These facilities are designed to create a supportive and conducive living environment for police officers and their families.
Enhancing Police Welfare
This development is part of the broader Security Services Housing Programme, launched in 2018, aimed at increasing the housing stock for Ghana’s security services.
