Construction of an ultra-modern Office complex for the Central Regional office of the Lands Commission has begun in Cape Coast to improve land administration and service delivery in the region.
It formed part of the Commission's strategic plan to construct permanent office accommodation for all the regional offices in the country in order to reduce rent payment.
The building, expected to be completed within 18 to 24 months, will house all the various departments of the Commission, currently operating at different locations in the Cape Coast metropolis.
The Chief Director of the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources, Innocent Haligah, in an address before the sod-cutting for commencement of the work, explained that the new edifice would accommodate and motivate officials of the Commission, saying, "If you work in an environment that is not motivating enough, there is no urgency in rushing to your work place and if the environment is not friendly enough, you are in a hurry to go back home." "This particular edifice will make it possible so that even if we come to work, we will not be in a hurry to rush back home because it will be comfortable for us to work," he added.
