Frank Aboagye Danyansah,Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Danywise Estate also says the company has observed the challenge of hostel accommodation for tertiary educational institutions in the country hence the need to address them.

“Many are denied admission because of limited accommodation to house them. UCOMS Accra campus and Kumasi Campus are facing a big challenge and we must take steps to address it”,” the CEO of Danyanwise Estate and Construction observed

Hitting on employment opportunities likely to be derived from the estate housing project, Frank Aboagye Danyansah that, over three thousand people will be employed as skilled and unskilled personnel to help curb unemployed in the country.
