President John Dramani Mahama has issued an immediate directive to reverse all allocations and sales of land associated with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration.
Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa confirmed the decision in a Facebook post, emphasizing that the move is intended to protect state-owned properties and prevent unauthorized occupation of public lands.
According to the North Tongu MP, the directive specifically targets lands adjacent to the Foreign Affairs Ministry in the Airport Residential area, which had been transferred to seven different organizations and individuals.
Mr. Ablakwa praised President Mahama for what he described as a bold and patriotic move.
“I am enormously grateful to President Mahama for his unwavering patriotic and decisive presidential backing,” he stated.
He further assured that, under his leadership, no property belonging to the ministry—either within Ghana or abroad—would be sold.
“Under my watch as Foreign Minister, no land or property of the Ministry, located either home or abroad, would be sold,” he affirmed, pledging to protect the ministry’s assets from any future attempts at disposal.
