The Member of Parliament for Mion in the Northern Region Hon Musah Abdul Aziz Ayaba has cut sod for the construction of a staff accommodation for the Agenda 111 project in Sang.
The project which includes one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom housing units, is part of a broader initiative aimed at addressing the accommodation challenges faced by healthcare professionals across the country.
The project when completed will provide residential facilities for healthcare staff.
The project is being developed by Akrot Consultant, with the Ministry of Works and Housing (MWH), the Ministry of Health (MoH), and the Government of Ghana (GoG) serving as clients.
The accomodation project is awarded to Daa Malya Company limited, a reputable Ghanaian construction firm known for its high quality infrastructure projects.
