    Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, the minister of information, has reaffirmed the government’s commitment to helping those affected by the Akosombo Dam spill.

    According to him, the government’s relief efforts have demonstrated that getting the victims all the aid they require is the main priority.

    He stated during a press conference in Accra that the victims’ immediate needs are the government’s primary concern.

    Mr. Oppong Nkrumah continued by saying that the Volta Region’s spillover has made it necessary to build 20 special centers to house those impacted by the flooding.

    He claims that the goal of this strategy is to stop their situation from getting worse during this trying time.

    Mr. Oppong Nkrumah also said the government intended to help them return to their original communities once the water levels receded.

    “These are our brothers and sisters in various parts of the region, and the topography is such that twenty centres have been set up to accommodate people from nearby villages affected by the flooding exercise.

    “The focus is to ensure that the people who have been relocated to these twenty centres are supported with the necessary food, sleeping materials, healthcare, etc, so that their situation does not become more precarious than it is now and then subsequent to that, when the water levels recede, to assist them to go back to their communities.”

    There are increasing calls for the government to take into account temporarily relocating the affected people to the Saglemi Housing project.

    Relatedly, the flood disaster in Mepe and other areas of the Vola Region, which was brought on by the spillage of the Akosombo Dam, has resulted in the rescue of about 12,000 people, according to the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF).

    According to GAF, the flood situation in Mepe, the community that was severely impacted by the spillage, has been brought under considerable control as of Sunday, October 22.
