President John Dramani Mahama has visited the affected residents of tidal waves in the Volta Region, assuring that the government is fully committed to resolving the crisis.
Residents of Salakope and Agavedzi, two coastal communities in the Ketu South Municipality of the Volta Region, have been grappling with severe devastation caused by recurrent tidal waves.
The President and some of his ministers had to move to the communities to share words of encouragement with them and explain to them measures the government has put in place to ameliorate their plights.
During his visit, President Mahama walked through the affected areas to witness the severe damage to homes, livelihoods, and public infrastructure.
President Mahama engaged with the affected residents, some of whom have lost everything to the unrelenting waves and expressed deep concern about their struggles.
He emphasised the government has not abandoned them.
President Mahama also acknowledged their suffering and reiterated that urgent steps were being taken to provide both immediate relief and long-term solutions.
He said, “I understand your pain and frustration. This is a heartbreaking situation, and I want to assure you that the government is doing everything possible to ensure that a lasting solution is found. You are not forgotten.”
“We want you to know that government has not forgotten about you, we are going to do everything possible to make sure that we ameliorate the plight that you are going through,” he assured.
With him were some MPs in the region, including the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, the Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu and the Minister for Roads and Highways, Kwame Governs Agbodza.
