President John Dramani Mahama has unveiled plans to launch a Home Ownership Scheme tailored specifically for personnel of the Ghana Armed Forces, as part of broader efforts to improve their welfare and long-term security.
Speaking at the Ghana Military Academy Graduation Ceremony for Regular Career Course 63 in Accra, President Mahama emphasised that one of the most urgent needs of service members is affordable and decent housing.
“We’ll address the most pressing concerns of your troops, starting with the need for affordable housing,” he said. “We’ll focus on constructing new housing units in the barracks while refurbishing dilapidated and abandoned military accommodations across the nation.”
He stressed that no member of the Armed Forces should have to endure sub-standard living conditions. In response, the Armed Forces Home Ownership Scheme will be introduced to allow officers and soldiers to acquire private homes, either during or after active service.
“In addition to improved accommodation in our barracks, we’ll establish the Armed Forces Home Ownership Scheme to provide officers and soldiers with the opportunity to own their own private homes,” he stated.
The initiative is expected to complement ongoing infrastructural developments within the military and serve as a major morale booster for service personnel across the country.
