President John Dramani Mahama has asked the finance minister to see to the matter
President John Dramani Mahama has asked the Minister of Finance to release funds for the second phase of the Blekusu Sea Defence project to prevent flooding.
He gave the directive when he visited Agavedzi in the Volta Region to assess the level of destruction caused by the tidal waves.
The President visited the scene today, Thursday, March 6, 2025, after the Independence Day celebration held at the Jubilee House.
Residents of Salakope, Amutinu, and Agavedzi have been displaced due to the recent flooding in their area.
The President in his remarks, said, “So I am going to ask the finance minister to include funding to start phase two of the Blekusu Sea Defence project.”
“…There are two things we need to do: start the building of phase two of the defence wall but at the same time resettle those whose houses have been affected. So, we will look for a more suitable site for the resettlement project.”
