Piece of Achimota Forest gave over to Owoo Family as of now not a timberland save
Foundation
In 2007, the Owoo Family, the 1927 pre-procurement proprietors of the land appealed to the public authority during the residency of President John Agyekum Kufuor to deliver the un-involved bits of the backwoods in the southern fringe to the family in lieu of remuneration, which had not been paid throughout the years beginning around 1927 when the land was gained by the state. In 2008, the public authority consented to rent the southern fringe of the timberland to the family for a time of 99 years.
In 2011, the Owoo Family again appealed to the public authority during the residency of President John Evans Atta Mills on the issue and one more panel was comprised to investigate the request.
After the public authority was happy with the Owoo family's application, President John Dramani Mahama delivered the bits in the southern outskirts to the family in September 2013.
The public authority managing the Forestry Commission likewise chose to change over the actual woodland into an Eco-Park.
Consequently the 1930 Instrument which grouped the whole region as the need might have arisen to be changed.
President Akufo-Addo under Executive Instrument 144 on April 19, 2022 hence lifted the 1927 order of those segments of the Achimota Forest in the southern outskirts as a Forest Reserve.
The EI 144 was distributed along with the Forests (Achimota Firewood Plantation Forest Reserve) (Amendment) Instrument, 2022 (EI 154). The EI 144 was to make the fringe bits of the timberland save fail to be a woodland hold to guarantee an improvement that was predictable with the region of the backwoods save.
