Afro-Arab Offers to Help Mahama Deliver 200,000 Affordable Homes
Written on
The founder of Afro-Arab Group, Ambassador Alhaji Salamu Amadu, has offered to partner with President John Mahama to accelerate the delivery of 200,000 affordable homes, citing interest-free payment plans for low- and middle-income buyers.
The President and Founder of the Afro-Arab Group of Companies, Ambassador Alhaji Salamu Amadu, has offered to support President John Dramani Mahama's housing agenda as part of efforts to deliver 200,000 affordable homes across Ghana.
The commitment was made during the recently held National Homeownership Conference, when President Mahama visited the Afro-Arab Properties exhibition booth. During the visit, Ambassador Salamu Amadu expressed his readiness to work with the government to accelerate the provision of affordable housing and help address Ghana's housing deficit.
He said Afro-Arab Properties was prepared to contribute to the President's vision of expanding access to decent and affordable homes, particularly for low- and middle-income earners who struggle to purchase houses under conventional payment arrangements.
The company said the pledge reflects its commitment to making homeownership accessible to more Ghanaians through flexible payment plans and affordable housing initiatives, and that it has introduced housing projects designed to allow prospective homeowners to pay gradually over an agreed period, with interest-free payment arrangements forming part of its approach.
Afro-Arab believes partnerships between government and private real estate developers will be important in addressing the country's housing challenges and increasing the supply of affordable homes. President Mahama has repeatedly highlighted the need to tackle Ghana's housing deficit, improve access to decent accommodation and create opportunities for private-sector participation in the housing industry.
