Mahama orders reversal of Foreign Affairs Ministry land sales under Akufo-Addo

President John Dramani Mahama has issued a directive to reverse all allocations and sales of land belonging to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs made by the previous government.

This decision aims to preserve the Ministry’s adjoining land at Airport Residential, which had been claimed by seven organisations and individuals as new owners.

Foreign Affairs Minister, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, announced the presidential directive on his Facebook page, expressing his gratitude to President Mahama for his unwavering patriotic and decisive support.

Ablakwa emphasised that under his leadership, no land or property of the Ministry, whether located domestically or internationally, would be sold.

“President Mahama has directed that all allocations and sale of land belonging to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs by the previous government be immediately reversed. Yesterday’s presidential directive will ensure that the Ministry’s adjoining land at Airport Residential which some 7 organisations and individuals claim to be the new owners would now be cancelled and preserved for the people of Ghana,” Ablakwa stated.

He further added, “I am enormously grateful to President Mahama for his unwavering patriotic and decisive presidential backing. Under my watch as Foreign Minister, no land or property of the Ministry, located either home or abroad would be sold. No more State Capture! For God and Country. Ghana First.”
