At a commissioning ceremony for a newly built road in Block ‘F’, North Sophia, Minister of Housing and Water Irfaan Ali on Wednesday announced that plans are in train to spend $120M for developmental works in the area this year.
Block ‘F’ was a squatting area that was regularised during the 1990s. However, with inadequate roads crisscrossing through the area, residents formed the Block ‘F’ Community Group to lobby for proper infrastructure. Their efforts bore fruit after several meetings with officials from the Central Housing and Planning Authority (CH&PA) and the Ministry of Housing and Water, leading to a $15.3M contract,
