Some residents of Apiate near Bogoso in the Western Region who were to benefit from the reconstruction housing scheme in the area have started moving into their new homes.
This was after the Vice President, Dr. Mahamoudu Bawumia officially inaugurated the first phase of the community’s reconstruction some months ago.
The government promised to ensure the reconstruction of about 124 housing units that were destroyed in the community.
Subsequently, the government honoured its promise and constructed a befitting housing project for the resettlement of the victims.
In all 124 new housing units, ranging from one bedroom to seven bedrooms were built with first class sanitary and other facilities.
The Assembly Member for Bepoh- Apiate Electoral area, Mr. Thomas Yaw Enyam indicated that currently, about 70% of those expected to move into the new apartments have done so.
“Yes, it’s true the beneficiaries started moving in about two weeks ago. The Municipal Chief Executive, Dr. Isaac Dasmani provided a vehicle to help convey the beneficiaries from their various lodging places to the new building”, he added.
He urged those who have not yet received their new housing units to be patient, assuring them that plans were in place to ensure a smooth relocation process for everyone.
