Mahama Announces March 2027 Commissioning Date for First 700 Saglemi Housing Units

The President made the announcement during an inspection of the project, where he assessed progress and reiterated the government’s commitment to completing the long-delayed housing development.

According to the President, work on the project is being accelerated, with a broader target of completing 1,500 housing units by the end of 2027.

The Saglemi Affordable Housing Project has remained one of Ghana’s most closely watched housing developments after years of delays left several completed structures unoccupied.

The renewed push to complete the project is expected to provide additional accommodation for families while contributing to efforts to address Ghana’s housing deficit.

President Mahama’s announcement of the March 2027 commissioning target provides a specific timeline for the first phase of the renewed development.

The government’s target is to have 700 units ready by March 2027, followed by further construction toward the completion of 1,500 units before the end of 2027.

The project is expected to remain under close government supervision as construction progresses, with attention focused on ensuring that the completed units are properly finished and made available for their intended purpose.

For many Ghanaians, the progress of the Saglemi project will be closely followed, particularly because of the years of public investment associated with the development.

If the current timeline is achieved, the commissioning of the first 700 units in March 2027 would mark a significant step in bringing the Saglemi Affordable Housing Project into active use.

The government now faces the task of maintaining the pace of construction and meeting the broader 1,500-unit target by December 2027.
