THE GOVERNMENT WILL ASSIST THE VICTIMS AFFECTED BY THE AKOSOMBO DAM SPILLAGE – OPPONG NKRUMAH

The government has expressed its commitment to helping the victims of the Akosombo Dam spillage to rebuild their lives and their investments to return to normalcy.

There have been growing demands for the government to consider relocating the affected individuals to the Saglemi Housing project on a temporary basis.

In response to these requests during a press briefing, Information Minister Kojo Oppong emphasized that the government’s immediate focus is on providing essential assistance to the victims.

He added that the spillage of the Volta Region has necessitated the establishment of twenty dedicated centres to accommodate people affected by the flooding.

According to him, this approach aims to prevent their situation from deteriorating further during this challenging period.

Additionally, Mr. Oppong Nkrumah added that the government plans to assist them in returning to their home communities once the water levels subside.
