In 2005, the Chinese government approved a $1.34 million grant for the rehabilitation of the Peduase Presidential Lodge. This project involved structural, civil, electrical, mechanical, air-condition works. It also involved special furnishings, fixtures, fittings, draperies, and painting.

It was then used in the second republic of Ghana as the official residence of the then Ceremonial President, Edward Akufo-Addo. Since then it has not been permanently resided in by any Ghanaian head-of-state. Peduase Lodge is now used as a Presidential accommodation for the state of Ghana guests. The Presidential Lodge is in Peduase, a town near Kitase on the road to Aburi.
China State Construction Engineering Corporation Ltd. was the contractor responsible for implementation of the rehabilitation project. Its work was overseen by a Ghanaian firm called Twum Boafo And Partners. Construction began in late 2005.
