The government then handed the project over to the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) to complete, and thankfully it has finally seen the light of day, and will soon be put out for sale, according to SSNIT.
The initial aim of the Affordable Housing is to provide accommodation to low and middle income-workers, create jobs and build the capacity of local contractors.
Speaking to the Daily Graphic at the site last Tuesday, the Kumasi Area Manager of SSNIT, Mr. Alhassan A. Mahamadu, explained that the project was named after the Asantehene in recognition of his tremendous support and commitment towards its completion.
