"I urge the government to sell the Saglemi housing project to me, so we can transform these unfinished houses into comfortable homes for our fellow Ghanaians,” he sounded firm in his resolve to complete the project.

Amadu also touched on the importance of shelter as a fundamental human right, stating strongly that he cannot remain indifferent when the buildings constructed under the Saglemi Housing Project remain unused.

He views houses not just as structures but as vital spaces that provide shelter, comfort, and security.

Expressing the emotional impact the current state of the Saglemi Housing Project has on him, Amadu states:

"Each time I see the unfinished houses, my heart aches."

Motivated by the urgent need for quality housing solutions, especially after displacement caused by the Akosombo Dam spillage, he feels compelled to take action and revitalise the Saglemi Housing Project, aiming to provide affordable and quality homes for Ghanaians.
