VRA MUST TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY TO BUILD TEMPORAL STRUCTURE FOR THE AFFECTED STUDENTS BY AKOSOMBO DAM SPILLAGE – MINORITY

The minority is calling for the Volta River Authority(VRA) to take responsibility for building a temporary structure for the students affected by the spillage of the excess water from the Akosombo Dam
The Akosombo Dam spillage left many communities in dire need of essential supplies, shelter, and clean water.


Over 30,000 people have been displaced from their homes, and the situation is becoming increasingly dire by the day.


Over 14,000 students have had their academic activities disrupted due to the situation with various classrooms being used as safe havens for the affected residents.


Speaking to the media, the ranking member on the education committee of parliament Peter Nortsu Kotoe believes the VRA should allocate funds to address this concern.


The minority has also backed the Ghana Education Service (GES) to issue an administrative sanction to heads of schools who allowed JHS 1 and 2 students to part take 2023 BECE.
