Abubakari Seidu Ajarfor,
Ghanaians and foreign non-residents in Ghana can now have a decent home with cheaper and flexible payment terms that would be spread out for some number of years and as low as CH3.00 a day depending on the choice of building.
Every Ghanaian who earns as low as CH5.00 a day can now boast of a decent home with the luxury of a healthy living environment.

The press were told that the completed building, after a maximum of three months of construction and furnishing was estimated at CH5000.

The President of ACI added that ACI is very much concern about the sleeping place of the middle-income earner who cannot afford a decent home that comes with its basic necessities because of poverty.
Therefore, he said, ACI, after of 5years of establishment came up with this project to provide decent but cheaper and flexible payment terms that will bring every Ghanaian onboard to uplift their standard of living.

First Pan African volta City project

Energy Development program
ACI has been contracted by a client to develop an electrical system that will take the client partially off the national grid. ACI envisages that about 20% of consumers of electricity in Ghana are those that can afford to be removed of the national grid. In the short term, this will be able to reduce the pressure on the national grid and make this income group self-sufficient in the production of a substantial part of their electricity consumption.
ACI has also sourced the development of small Hydro-electricity generators for community electricity generation. The future of ACI?s other interventions into the energy sector will be mind blowing.
Other its seven development strategies includes mining and economic development strategy, incorporation of Ghana (urban, sub-urban areas/ communities and villages), A Land Management Program and Youth in Agriculture- The ACI Seed Program.
