As part of the beautification, modernisation of the City of Accra, and creating more space for the day-to-day administration of the Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA), the sod was cut last week Thursday for the construction of a six-storey building at Kinbu Gardens.
The first phase of the project, estimated at GH¢15 million, is expected to be completed by mid next year, and is under the sponsorship of Dream Reality Limited, a real estate and construction company. The second phase of the project would be solely sponsored from the assembly’s internal generated funds, according to the AMA Chief Executive, Dr. Alfred Okoe Vanderpuije.
The first phase of the Accra Millennium City Hall would consist of offices and departments for staff, a marriage registration hall, unit committee halls, and assembly hall of 300-seating capacity, and parking space for 200 vehicles Dr. Vanderpuije, at the short sod-cutting ceremony, which was disturbed by heavy rain, indicated that the foundation of the office complex begun about two weeks ago, and the main purpose was part of the Accra beautification process.
“The building was part of the assembly’s beautification agenda,” he stated. Karim Ibrahim, Managing Director of Dream Reality Limited, was grateful to partner the AMA, and said the provision of the building would go a long way to help the assembly carry out its development programmes.
