Mr Paul Eddy Okwabi Quartey, Managing Director dedicated the award to the Board of Directors and staff of the company for their unflinching support that has enabled Edern Security to achieve this feat. He said it was most refreshing for the company to have achieved this award in the wake of very difficult times after the demise of the company’s founder and Chief Executive Officer, the late Mr Ernest Quartey. “Our achievement should be a lesson to all companies that should the worse occur such as the death of the company’s founder, that company can still stand through the full support and commitment from its management and staff”. Mr Quartey expressed the hope that the award would go a long way to further create client confidence in the company in its bid to provide total security and maximum protection for lives and property. The award, Mr Quartey said demonstrates Edern Security’s expertise and was optimistic that as a growing company, Edern Security would achieve higher laurels in the future.

It was under the theme: “Sustaining Infrastructure Development For the 21st Century Urban Take-off”. The Minister of Water Resources, Works and Housing, Mr. Alban Bagbin, challenged real estate developers in the country to comply with building codes and regulations that prohibits them from building on water ways and locations earmarked for government projects. Mr. Babgin who gave the warning in a speech read on his behalf at this year’s Ghana Property Awards, said the increasing pressure on land and demand for houses should not encourage real estate developers to make short cuts to build anywhere and anyhow. “You are no doubt aware that the country’s real estate regulations enjoin all developers to acquire lands, register them and secure the right documents from the Lands Commission and the Land Title Registry. It is the interest of all, both real estate developers and home owners, to ensure that structures put up for human habitation receives the required approval or certification from professional bodies” he advised.
