President John Mahama will this afternoon visit communities affected by the recent tidal waves in the Volta Region.
The President's visit is to assess the extent of the devastation firsthand and ensure that appropriate measures are taken to support those affected.
The President is expected to arrive at 2 pm.
His visit follows Ghana’s Independence Day celebration on March 6, where he reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to national development and resilience against environmental challenges.
The tidal waves, which affected communities such as Amutinu, Agavedzi, and Salakope, have left over 600 people without homes. Reports indicate that burial grounds, residences, and other properties were destroyed, forcing some families to exhume the bodies of their loved ones.
Meanwhile, Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, spent the night with victims of the tidal waves in Ketu South.
In a social media post, James Gunu explained that his decision to spend the night at the temporary shelter provided for the victims was to better understand their struggles.
“I’ll be spending the night with the good people of Agavedzi-Salakɔƒe-Amutinu. It is important for us to feel what they feel even as we formulate and implement the permanent solution,” he stated.
