The Minister of Works and Housing, Francis Asenso-Boakye, has revealed that the Ministry intends to honor former Works and Housing Minister, Hackman Owusu-Agyeman by naming a recent housing project in Accra after him.
While inspecting the newly constructed 16 units of 4-bedroom houses at Ringway in Accra, Asenso-Boakye expressed, “Hon. Hackman, as we all call him, was very instrumental during his tenure as sector Minister, and undertook significant projects at the Ministry.”
“He implemented President Kufuor’s Affordable Housing project, which saw the development of massive housing in various parts of the country. It is, therefore, an honor to name this project after him.” Additionally, he outlined plans to designate other projects after former sector ministers to serve as inspiration for current public officers.
The project, known as the “Hackman Owusu-Agyeman Court,” is located in Ringway, Accra, and is designed to provide accommodation for senior public officials, including ministers of state, superior court judges, and senior civil servants.
Developed by the State Housing Company (SHC) Limited, the project comprises 16 housing units, a substantial increase from the previous three houses on the same piece of land (1.5 Acres).
Asenso-Boakye commended the management and staff of SHC for their commendable work in completing the project.
