The Ghana Union of Traders Association (GUTA) has expressed gratitude to the government for considering its members in the Pokuase housing scheme.
President Akufo-Addo on August 1, cut sod for the commencement of an 8,000 housing units project on a 203-acre land at Pokuase in the Greater Accra Region.
The Ministry of Works and Housing involved the traders in its affordable housing project for low and middle-income earners in the country under the Revised National Affordable Housing Programme.
The traders were optimistic about their chances to own a house and extend their gratitude to banks and estate developers for partnering with them to help traders purchase houses and make the scheme a great success.
In a press release issued on August 9, GUTA also pleaded with the government to extend the project to other areas of the country so other traders can benefit from it.
Under the programme, the government is expected to subsidise the housing units by providing land and infrastructure to absorb a critical component of the construction cost, while the private sector complements the effort by raising funds to build apartments on a cost-recovery basis.
