President John Dramani Mahama has directed the immediate reversal of all allocations and sales of land belonging to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that were made under the previous Akufo-Addo’s government.
The directive, issued on 4 March 2025, ensures that the Ministry’s adjoining land at Airport Residential Area, which had reportedly been allocated to seven organisations and individuals, will now be reclaimed and preserved for the state.
This development was announced by Minister for Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, in a statement shared on his social media platforms on 5 March 2025.
He expressed gratitude to President Mahama for his decisive intervention and commitment to protecting public assets.
“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,” Ablakwa stated
He further declared that the era of what he described as “State Capture” was over, reaffirming his commitment to ensuring that government properties remain in state hands.
