SHC built 3,000 houses under Akufo-Addo, only 12 under Mahama – MD
The Managing Director (MD) of the State Housing Company (SHC),Mr Kwabena Ampofo Appiah, has highlighted the achievements of the SHC under President Akufo-Addo's administration, claiming that over 3,000 houses have been constructed during his tenure.
He contrasted this with the 12 houses built under the administration of former President John Dramani Mahama.
Speaking during an interview on Tuesday, September 17, Mr Ampofo Appiah praised the current government's commitment to housing development, noting that the SHC had been revitalised under the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
He emphasised that the significant increase in housing projects reflects government's dedication to addressing Ghana’s housing deficit.
Mr Ampofo Appiah further criticised the previous National Democratic Congress (NDC) administration, arguing that their housing efforts were insufficient and ineffective in tackling the country’s growing housing needs.
He asserted that the SHC’s performance under Mahama was lacklustre, with minimal output compared to the current surge in construction.
The SHC Managing Director commended the Akufo-Addo's administration for providing the necessary support and resources to enable the SHC to undertake larger projects.
He noted that these efforts have not only provided homes for Ghanaians but have also contributed to job creation in the construction sector, boosting the local economy.
“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.”
“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 said,
