Several properties are being destroyed in the national capital under the guise of redevelopment.

Structures are being pulled down, institutions resettled, whilst state lands are being dissipated within and amongst the corridors of the powerful and affluence.

Whilst advanced countries like France, the United States, Canada and other places, agriculture sits in the heart of the city, Ghana is driving out anything agriculture outside the jurisdiction of the capital.

After securing a concessional loan of $32million from Brazil to secure agricultural machinery to boost the sector, government has ordered a relocation of the equipment and the site where these machinery are kept.
