The Tema Development Corporation (TDC Ghana Limited) has announced an affordable housing project in the Volta Region.
This will be the first major expansion outside the Greater Accra Region.
According to the TDC, the project will be sited on a newly acquired 1,000-acre parcel of land in Ho and is expected to reduce the country’s housing deficit while stimulating economic activity across the region.
A high-powered TDC delegation, led by Managing Director Mr. Courage K. M. Nunekpeku, paid a courtesy call on the Agbogbomefia of Asogli State, Togbe Afede XIV, on Thursday to formally present the project plans and seek his blessing.
The delegation included senior TDC management and government representatives such as Ebenezer Sam, Director of Housing at the Ministry of Works and Housing, who represented the sector minister, and Ho Municipal Chief Executive, Stephen Adom.
Also present were the Volta Regional NDC Chairman, Mawutor Agbavitor, and other regional executives.
Mr. Nunekpeku disclosed that construction of the affordable housing units would begin soon, describing the initiative as a critical step in bridging the country’s housing deficit and ensuring equitable regional development.
“This marks an exciting new chapter for TDC as we extend our expertise beyond Greater Accra,” he said.
“The Ho project is designed not only to provide quality, affordable homes but also to serve as a catalyst for job creation and economic growth in the Volta Region,” he added.
Togbe Afede XIV welcomed the TDC team and praised the decision to situate the project in Ho.
He pledged his full support, pointing to the economic and social benefits it would bring.
“This project will create jobs for local youth, artisans, contractors, and service providers. I call on all stakeholders to collaborate to make it a resounding success that delivers lasting benefits to the Volta Region and Ghana as a whole,” he noted.
As part of its visit, the TDC delegation made donations to support the annual Asogli Te Za Festival and the Asogli Educational Fund.
Togbe Afede described the gesture as proof of TDC’s commitment not only to infrastructure development but also to community welfare.
