The Government of Ghana has taken steps to address longstanding accommodation deficits within the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) following the arrival of international investors to advance discussions on a large-scale military housing project.<\/p>\n

The proposed development is expected to deliver 5,008 two-bedroom and three-bedroom housing units across seven military barracks nationwide, subject to the completion of negotiations and technical arrangements with the Ministry of Defence.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the media, Managing Director of Sinoam Fund, Tarek Choufan, confirmed that his outfit has partnered with Eli Ghana Limited to finance the project.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have partnered with Eli Ghana to work on a housing project for the Ministry of Defence, and we are very happy to be here to finalise the completion of our agreement and proceed with the investment,\u201d Choufan said.<\/p>\n

He disclosed that the investors are prepared to inject an initial capital of about 50 million US dollars, with further funding tied to project milestones and phased implementation.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re here to make sure the project goes from initialisation to completion and to provide all the necessary capital that\u2019s required,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

According to Choufan, construction is expected to begin within a few months once agreements and roadmaps are finalised. <\/p>\n

He noted that while the immediate focus is military housing, the investors are also exploring opportunities in energy infrastructure, logistics and social infrastructure, including education and health.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s very important to enhance trade logistics here. It aligns with the national development targets of the government,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

Representing the Minister of Defence, Brigadier-General Benjamin Amoa-Boateng, Acting Judge Advocate General of the Ghana Armed Forces, described the investors\u2019 visit as a positive step towards resolving accommodation challenges within the military.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy presence here is an indication of the collaboration with the investors, and we are glad that they are in town,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

However, he cautioned that details of the agreement would only be made public after formal discussions are concluded.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are now going into the proper discussions. In the next few days, we will come out to let the public know what the whole arrangement is about,\u201d Brigadier-General Amoa-Boateng explained.<\/p>\n

He reiterated that the housing project forms part of broader government strategies to address infrastructure and facility gaps within the Armed Forces.<\/p>\n

Chief Executive Officer of Eli Ghana Limited, Madam Alberta Abi Amartey, said her company is facilitating the partnership and will play a key role in the execution of the project alongside the financiers and state institutions.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a firm, we are here to help the military to solve the housing deficit,\u201d she said.\t<\/p>\n

She confirmed that Eli Ghana will partner Sinoam Fund on construction, working closely with the Ghana Armed Forces and the Ministry of Defence.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are the financiers of the project, alongside the Ghana Armed Forces and the Ministry of Defence,\u201d Madam Amartey noted.<\/p>\n
