President John Mahama has directed the Minister of Finance to secure funding for the commencement of Phase II of the Blekusu Sea Defence Project.
This initiative is aimed at mitigating destruction caused by tidal waves which affected communities such as Amutinu, Agavedzi, and Salakope, left over 600 people without homes.
The President, during a visit to the affected areas on March 6, 2025, reassured residents of the government’s commitment to providing lasting solutions to the recurring problem.
He emphasized that funding for the Blekusu Sea Defence Project Phase 2 would be included in the upcoming national budget, which will soon be presented to Parliament.
"Funding for the sea defence project will be captured in the budget to be presented to Parliament in a few days,” he assured.
Beyond the sea defence project, the government has also announced an immediate allocation of a safe resettlement site for those displaced by the disaster.
