WORK on a two-storey building to provide office accommodation for the Brong Ahafo Regional Secretariat of the Lands Commission is about to be completed.
The building, which is being constructed at a cost of GH¢250,000, is being financed from the internally-generated fund of the secretariat.
When completed, the building will provide offices for the Regional Chairman of the commission, the Deeds Registry, Records and senior staff of the secretariat.
The Regional Lands Officer, Mr Sandy Mensah, took the Daily Graphic round the project at the weekend.
He stated that the construction of the project, which started in November, last year, is expected to be completed by the end of the year.
“The Brong Ahafo Regional Office of the Lands Commission is poised to use its internally generated funds for a good purpose to create a conducive atmosphere so as to entice the staff to offer their best,” Mr Mensah stressed.
He, however, expressed concern about encroachment on lands earmarked for future public use by way of the construction of unauthorised places.
Mr Mensah said following a court order on July 31, 2008, 20 unauthorised structures were demolished.
He warned that the commission would go all out to ensure that all land regulations were enforced.
