The Lands Commission is reviewing the implementation of the redevelopment schemes in Accra taking into account "legality, morality and ethical considerations".
It said in pursuance of the current government policy to return some of the government-acquired lands to their original owners, the Commission had been holding consultations with the Gadangme Council on the modalities for implementing the policy.
This is contained in a statement released in Accra on Monday by Nana Adjei Ampofo, Chairman of the Lands Commission.
It said based on these, the commission had withdrawn all the allocations made in respect of the International Students Hostel.
"The site has subsequently been re-zoned into civil/cultural use and allocated to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Public Procurement Authority and the Ghana Revenue Authority for the development of their offices," the statement said.
It said with respect to the Redevelopment and In-filling Schemes, 77 allocations had been withdrawn and a portion would be given to the original owners.
"As an immediate action, 11 of the plots are being given to the original owners."
It said the Commission was also finalising proposals to return 50 per cent of the acquisitions of five state institutions to the original owners.
These are the Madina site for Social Welfare; site for Accra Training College; site for Ghana Civil Aviation at Adenta; site for Post and Telecommunications at Pantang and site for West Africa Secondary School at Adenta.
"The Lands Commission wants to state further that the release is an ongoing process. The Commission is, therefore, urging all to be patient and allow the process to roll on."
The Commission said in its view, the provision of Article 20 of the 1992 Constitution with regard to lands previously acquired by government which are no longer required for purposes of the initial acquisition related to acquisitions made after 1992 and not before.
The Commission said it would continue to engage the expropriated owners with similar concerns nationwide to address the anxieties expressed in relation to compulsorily acquired lands, adding that this would further ensure effective land administration.
