The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has announced that President John Dramani Mahama has directed the immediate reversal of all allocations and sales of land belonging to the ministry.
He stated that the decision was taken to safeguard state assets and prevent further encroachment on public lands.
In a Facebook post on Wednesday, March 5, Ablakwa revealed that the directive specifically affects lands adjoining the Foreign Affairs Ministry at Airport Residential, which had reportedly been allocated to seven organisations and individuals under the previous government. "Yesterday's presidential directive will ensure that the Ministry's adjoining land at Airport Residential, which some seven organisations and individuals claim to be the new owners, would now be cancelled and preserved for the people of Ghana," he stated.
The Minister expressed deep appreciation to President Mahama for his decisive action in protecting state resources.
