Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has stressed the country’s need for long-term solutions to deal with the aftermath of the Akosombo dam spillage.
The Volta River Authority (VRA) commenced the controlled water spillage from the Akosombo and Kpong Dams on September 15, 2023, due to a consistent rise in the inflow pattern and water level of the Akosombo reservoir.
Thousands of residents in South Tongu, North Tongu, Central Tongu, Asuogyaman, and several other areas have had their homes submerged due to the spillage.
Dr. Bawumia, who visited the affected communities in the North, Central, and South Tongu districts on Wednesday, said a permanent solution would be needed to prevent such occurrences.
