President John Dramani Mahama has ordered the cancellation of all land allocations and sales related to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that were approved by the previous administration.

This move is intended to safeguard the Ministry’s property near Airport Residential, which had been taken over by seven different entities and individuals claiming ownership.

Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa shared the directive on his Facebook page, thanking President Mahama for his firm and patriotic stance on the matter.

He further assured that, under his leadership, no property belonging to the Ministry—whether in Ghana or abroad—would be sold.

“President Mahama has directed that all allocations and sale of land belonging to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs by the previous government be immediately reversed. Yesterday’s presidential directive will ensure that the Ministry’s adjoining land at Airport Residential which some 7 organisations and individuals claim to be the new owners would now be cancelled and preserved for the people of Ghana.

He further added, “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. No more State Capture! For God and Country. Ghana First.”
