Housing: Private sector has a major role to play in solving Ghana’s Housing Deficit – Real Estate Developer

The Chief Executive Officer of AWAK Company Limited, Wisdom Venunye Attakpa, has lauded the significant contributions the private sector has offered in dealing with housing needs of the country.

He explained that though successive governments have failed to provide adequate housing for the citizenry, the private sector has stepped in the gap by making housing accessible and affordable. Mr. Attakpa made the revelation at the launch of the Accra office of Awak Company Limited.

AWAK Company Limited is a real estate development company with focus on providing and managing housing facilities across the country. The company which started as an agency at Ho, the Volta Regional Capital, has seen massive expansion due to their unique and timely execution of works in the real estate industry.

At the Lunch, Mr. Wisdom Venunye Attakpa explained that though the country is going through very difficult economic challenges, housing is extremely crucial for the survival of the human race. He Asserts that an effective public-private partnership will resolve all the housing needs of the country and will set the country’s housing deficit on a downward trend.

Mr. Attakpa further explains that high taxes slapped on small and medium sized companies must be looked again to make these companies effective in contributing their quota to national development.

“The private sector over the years have been the major fore-player over the years in tackling the housing issues in the country. Over the period of time government has failed with their beautiful interventions. If government will encourage a lot of private investment and reduce the taxes that small business like ours pay, we can reduce the housing deficit significantly as a country” he noted.

These professionals are so good that you just dream and we will build it” he emphasized.
