Saglemi progress validates work done under NPP – Oppong Nkrumah

Former Works and Housing Minister Kojo Oppong Nkrumah expressed satisfaction with the progress made in the Saglemi Housing Project, which demonstrates the effectiveness of private-sector participation in government projects. President John Dramani Mahama announced on August 20 that the first 700 housing units of the Saglemi project would be completed and ready for use by March 2027.

Oppong Nkrumah welcomed the continuation of the private-sector arrangement initiated during his tenure as Housing Minister, which validated the previous administration's approach to completing the project without additional state funding. He emphasized that the ongoing development of the Saglemi project ensures its self-financing and sustainability in the future.

Oppong Nkrumah defended the decision to employ a private-sector approach, stating that it was carefully structured to protect the state's interests. He also accused opposition from elements within the National Democratic Congress (NDC) of being politically motivated.
