 Ghana’s Construction Industry Poised for Transformation Under New Leadership


Accra, Ghana – May 30, 2025 — Ghana’s construction industry is on the brink of a new era, as Anthony D. Klutse, President of the Association of Building and Civil Engineering Constructors of Ghana (ABCECG), leads a renewed push for growth, collaboration, and sustainable development.


Speaking at a recent industry forum, Mr. Klutse emphasized that the sector is at a critical juncture, facing long-standing challenges such as a national housing deficit and numerous incomplete infrastructure projects. Yet, he maintained a firm optimism about the future, highlighting a strategic shift toward long-term planning and youth empowerment.





A New Generation of Constructors


Under Mr. Klutse’s leadership, the association has launched initiatives aimed at nurturing the next generation of professionals. By offering orientation programs, mentorship, and technical guidance, ABCECG is equipping young constructors with the skills and knowledge necessary to thrive in a competitive and evolving industry.


“This is about investing in the future of Ghana,” Mr. Klutse stated. “Our young constructors are not just the future of the industry—they are the present. They need the right support and tools to take the lead.”


Collaboration as a Catalyst for Change


A central pillar of Mr. Klutse’s vision is fostering greater collaboration among industry players. He believes that a unified approach—centered on knowledge-sharing and collective problem-solving—will enable constructors to learn from past missteps and build a more efficient, resilient sector.


“Progress will not come from isolated efforts,” Mr. Klutse said. “It will come from constructors, engineers, planners, and policymakers working together, sharing expertise, and supporting one another to meet the needs of our people.”


A Path to Economic Growth


With the construction sector seen as a key driver of economic development, Klutse underscored the importance of aligning industry efforts with national goals. Addressing Ghana’s housing deficit and improving infrastructure are not just technical issues—they are socio-economic imperatives.


“Building a house is about more than bricks and mortar,” he noted. “It’s about providing dignity, stability, and opportunity to families and communities across the country.”





Time to Act

Mr. Klutse concluded with a rallying call to all stakeholders in the industry: the time for action is now.


“With strong leadership, a focus on sustainable development, and a commitment to empowering our young professionals, we can overcome the challenges we face,” he affirmed. “Together, we can build not just structures, but a stronger future for Ghana.”


As the construction industry begins this new chapter, many are hopeful that the bold vision laid out by Klutse and the ABCECG will lead to tangible progress—benefiting not only the sector, but the entire nation.

 120 DAY'S IN OFFICE : SAME OLD JOHN " DEAD GOAT " MAHAMA. NOTHING HAS CHANGED -- YIADOM BOAKYE YB  President John Mahama should be one of the most flawless and faultless presidents in the country because of his experience of serving as president for 6 years and 8 years as opposition lesder. We are all expecting an unscathed leadership from his end, but unfortunately, we are experiencing the same old "dead goat " we've known him to be . Nothing has changed.  In this 120 days, we've seen the sacking of over 12000 public sector workers by the approval of the same old "dead goat " JM. This action defeats his 24-hour economy campaign promise. In this 120 days, we're experiencing the return of his trademark erratic power supply ( dumsor ). This has led to the burning and destruction of markets, shops, homes, and businesses.  We've seen the excessive abuse of power, especially from national security officials and NDC known vigilante...
