President John Dramani Mahama has directed the Ghana Education Trust Fund to release funding for the completion of the Ghana Award House project.
The facility, a two-storey administrative building valued at five million cedis, is being developed for the Head of State Award Scheme. The project was initiated in April 2021 under the previous administration but has since stalled.
Speaking at a Head of State Award ceremony, President Mahama reaffirmed his commitment to ensuring the project is completed.
“For 70 years, this initiative has moulded global leaders, innovators, and change-makers. In Ghana, it has become a symbol of hope, discipline, and transformation,” he said.
“As Chief Patron, I reaffirm my dedication to completing the Ghana Award House. I remember the promise I made when Mr Asante-Boateng led his team to my office.”
The President said he had taken concrete steps to fulfil that commitment.
“I haven’t forgotten; indeed, I have instructed the GETFund to provide us with the funding to complete the project,” he stated.
He added that the facility would serve as a long-term investment in youth development.
“This Award House will be a lasting symbol of this legacy and our investment in the future of our young people,” he said.
The Ghana Award House is expected to provide administrative support for the Head of State Award Scheme, which focuses on youth development through leadership, discipline, and community service.
