The facility is made up of 23 blocks comprising a total of 368 apartments to house as many naval officers.
Accommodation for officers of the Ghana Navy has been given a huge boost after Vice-President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia unveiled the Security Services Housing Project Phase II, of the Eastern Naval Command at Tema.
The project was begun four years ago with the aim of helping meet the pressing accommodation demands of Ghana’s security services.
However, it has now been completed and is ready for use by the Navy and other security services in the country.
The facility is made up of 23 blocks comprising a total of 368 apartments to house as many naval officers.
Dr. Bawumia said government is committed to ensuring that the security services are provided with the needed accommodation to be able to function properly.
