A well-functioning land administration system is essential for sustainable economic development, social cohesion and a vibrant investment climate, the Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has stated.
He also said that ensuring an effective land administration system was important as Ghana's land sector continued to play a critical role in the country's economy as it shaped communities and cities as a whole.
Dr Bawumia indicated this when he inaugurated a newly- built Lands Commission Head Office building in Accra yesterday, to enhance its administrative operations. "The Ghana Statistical Service estimates that some 90 per cent of our population derive their livelihood indirectly and directly from land.
This is why building a robust and modern land administration must be a priority for all", Dr Bawumia noted.
