President John Dramani Mahama has announced that the first 700 of 1,500 Saglemi housing units are set to be completed and ready for occupation by March next year. The remaining 800 units are expected to be finished by the end of 2027, while work has already begun on an additional 3,500 units to reach the originally planned 5,000 units.
Speaking at a working tour of the housing project in Saglemi, near Tsopoli in the Greater Accra Region, President Mahama emphasized the significance of the estate as a modern and comfortable residential community for thousands of Ghanaian families. He encouraged potential homeowners to register promptly upon the opening of the sales portal, warning that high demand could lead industries to acquire the properties for their employees.
Mahama assured that financial institutions, including the Home Ownership Fund, are prepared to finance the 10% deposit at low interest rates. The project includes promised infrastructure improvements such as the dualisation of the Tema-Aflao Highway, a railway line connecting the area to the Tema Port, and a dedicated water treatment plant.
The Saglemi housing project, initially conceived by the late President John Evans Atta Mills, has faced challenges since 2017 due to allegations of corruption surrounding the $200 million contract. Despite these setbacks, construction of the 1,500 initial units was set to conclude in August 2016.
