President Mills has assured the Chiefs and people in some flood affected areas in the Volta Region of government’s support in these times of trouble when most of their farm lands have been washed away by floods.
Major roads and bridges in some these areas under construction have also been rendered immotorable due to the floods.
The President who visited the Adaklu Ayigbe district, Akatsi District, and the Keta Municipality told the people that government would do everything possible to ensure that they stay safe during such disasters.
About three people were reported to have died from the floods.
In all about 7 communities were visited. At Adaklu Waya in the Adaklu Anyigbe District, President Mills donated GH¢ 2,000 to a victim’s family.
Several other items including 100 bags of rice, 100 bags of maize, about 50 plastic buckets and cups and several bails of second hand clothing were donated to the flood victims.
President Mills also assured the people of the region of government’s cooperation indicating that the “government would continue to monitor the situation” and ensure that the right thing is done to salvage the situation.
Some of the victims who spoke to Citi News expressed their profound appreciation to government for not dejecting them during their time of trouble.
The Volta Regional Minister Joseph Amonowode, Minister of Roads, Joe Gidisu, and Deputy Tourism Minister Kobby Acheampong were among some ministers of state who joined the President on his tour of the affected areas.
President Mills’ visit to the Volta Region came a day after visiting victims of flood hit areas in the Eastern Region who had a much worse situation.
