Job 600

Job 600, Government building in Korle-Klottey Municipal District, Ghana.

Job 600 is a government building in the Korle-Klottey Municipal District of central Greater Accra. The structure displays architectural elements typical of post-independence African construction from the 1960s.

Job 600 was built in 1965 on the orders of Kwame Nkrumah to host the 1966 summit of the Organisation of African Unity; it cost an estimated £4 million. After decades of use, a 2007 loan of US$25 million from SSNIT launched a renovation that was completed in 2016, turning the building into offices for Members of Parliament. A fire broke out on the fifth floor on 11 May 2012, and President John Dramani Mahama inaugurated the renovated building on 6 November 2015.

Nkrumah named the building State House for the 1966 OAU summit, and each head of state and foreign minister was to have one of its 60 apartments, each with ten rooms, two bathrooms and a hall. The name Job 600 is still used today, and the complex now serves Ghana's Parliament, with a 300-seat auditorium, a clinic, a church and a mosque.

Job 600 stands directly behind the Parliament House, so approach it from the parliamentary precinct rather than from a main road. The complex is a working office building for Members of Parliament, and the 2020 annex is a separate six-storey block. Expect security checks at the entrances.

The main block held 60 apartments, one for each head of state and foreign minister, each with ten rooms and two bathrooms. Curved, zigzag and inclined corridors plus a bunker with private phone lines and generators made the building defensible against outside and inside attack.
