Managing Director of the State Housing Company (SHC), Kwabena Ampofo Appiah, has highlighted the achievements of the company under President Akufo-Addo’s administration, revealing that over 3,000 houses have been constructed during the President’s tenure.
In an interview on Wednesday, September 18, 2024, Ampofo Appiah praised the government’s commitment to housing development, contrasting the current progress with what he described as the minimal output of former President John Dramani Mahama’s administration, which built only 12 houses.
He noted that the SHC has been revitalized under the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government, reflecting its dedication to addressing Ghana’s significant housing deficit.
“Honestly, I think we must all commend President Akufo-Addo for his sterling leadership and the various Ministers for the Housing Ministry that I have worked under over the period because we have done tremendous work under the State Housing Company,” he stated.
Ampofo Appiah further criticized the previous National Democratic Congress (NDC) administration, claiming that their housing efforts were insufficient in meeting the growing demands of Ghanaians. “We have built over 3,000 houses under the Akufo-Addo government as against the 12 houses that were built under former President John Dramani Mahama’s administration,” he emphasized.
He added that these efforts have not only provided homes for Ghanaians but have also created jobs in the construction sector, contributing to economic growth.
