<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>With people having to observe social distancing and self quarantine in order to help curb the Corona Virus pandemic, a mast sited on the Management Development and Productivity Institute(MDPI) building at Baatsonaa, Spintex has collapsed on a residence.</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Information reveals that the mast belongs to SuperTech Limited.</strong> <strong>Information gathered within the neighbourhood indicates that it collapsed due to lack of regular maintenance culture.</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Nii
Gontein Teiko Tsuru II, Chief of the Akononku Divisional Area, who lives in the
vicinity revealed that, &#8220;fortunately, no casualties were recorded but the
destruction of property cannot be disregarded.&#8221;</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>In his
submission, Nii Adotey Gbosange, Nungua Stool Secretary revealed  ;that the land in question was acquired by the
then Head of State, General Kutu Acheampong for the establishment of the MDPI administrative
building and classrooms in the year 1974.</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>&#8220;In
the year 1974, the government acquired a parcel of land (156.184) acres for
MDPI at Baatsona from the then Nungua Chief Nii Odai Ayiku IV.</strong></p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>The MDPI
Senior Officials were led by the wife of the late Chief to meet the Chief and
an agreement was made to that effect for the lease of the land. Thereafter,  ;a Surveyor from the Lands and Surveys
department was brought in to work on the land at the time for the MDPI,
including the land where the Texpo Market is situated currently. </strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>In 1975, ; the government took over on behalf of the
MDPI for the necessary agreement with the Nungua Stool since the body was under
the government.</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>To that
effect, the arrangement was then changed from lease hold to compulsory
acquisition by the Government of Ghana.</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>There were
about ten peasant farmers who were farming on the land for so long on parts of
the land which was to be acquired. </strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>This made
them owners since they were indigenes of Nungua.</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Compensation
was awarded to eight families among the farmers. The other two families did not
accept.</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>After the
Revolution in 1979, developments halted on the land in question and encroachers
took over the land to build their residences. The purpose of the building has
been neglected. Some telecom institutions have their mast on building.</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>&#8220;It
is therefore important that Government acts promptly and decisively about what
will be made of the building, albeit forming a committee to look into the
matter to resolve it since May 2017.</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>The place
has become a threat to life and property of citizens who live in the
neighborhood&#8221;.</strong></p>
