Two Customary Land Secretariats have been inaugurated in Sunyani, Bono Region and Kwahu Obomeng, Eastern Region, as part of the government's efforts to improve land administration at the customary level. The Administrator of Stool Lands, Mr Gad Asorwoe Akwensivie, commended the traditional authorities for their role in establishing the secretariats.
He emphasized the importance of proper land management for national development and the responsibility of traditional leaders in managing lands that are held under customary ownership by about 80% of the population in Ghana. The secretariats will serve as reliable repositories of land records, document land rights and transactions, and provide accurate information to the public, investors, and stakeholders.
There are currently 100 Customary Land Secretariats across the country, working with various institutions such as the OASL, Lands Commission, LUSPA, and land-based non-governmental organizations to strengthen collaboration and promote secure and orderly land use.
