After weeks of evaluation and due diligence, transaction advisors Deloitte Ghana have notified the Government of Ghana that either of the two firms may be selected after negotiations to complete the project

At least 10 firms initially expressed interest in partnering govt to finish the uncompleted project but five submitted bids at the close of the bidding process in July 2024

The Ministry of Works and Housing is expected to select the firm with the most favourable negotiating terms at the conclusion of the process.

Housing Minister Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, said the government remained focused and meticulous in the transaction.
