CSIR to offer 12 acres of land to support govt’s Agenda 111 project

Management of the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) Animal Research Institute has moved to give 12 acres of its lands to the government for the construction of a district hospital under the Agenda 111 program.

Director of the CSIR Animal Research Institute, Dr.

Senior management of CSIR has agreed to support the program of the President to provide healthcare to the populace so, in this regard, we have decided to give 12 acres to the Agenda 111 project so that hospitals can be built

We know some laboratories will be constructed, and it will be beneficial to animal research”, he disclosed.

The Animal Research Institute of the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research was set up with the mandate to inspire efficiency and entrepreneurship in the Ghanaian livestock industry through technology development and innovative interventions for food security and wealth creation.

But the Institute for the past seven years has been battling with the increasing level of encroachment of about 800 acres of its over 1,000-acre lands.

Chairman of the Greater Accra REGSEC, Henry Quartey, who led a demolition exercise on the land, urged other encroachers on the remaining 800-acre lands of the CSIR to regularize their documents claiming ownership of the property.
