Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has made a personal donation of GHC160,000 to victims of the Akosombo Dam Spillage.
Several communities in eight Districts, mostly in the Volta Region, as well as the Eastern and Greater Accra Regions, have been displaced by the Dam spillage, and Dr. Bawumia made the donation to support the victims during his visit to some affected communities in the Volta Region on Wednesday October 17, 2023.
So far, the Government, through the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) and the Inter Ministerial Committee set up by President Akufo-Addo to manage the disaster, has responded by evacuating affected people to 20 holding centres, and also provided emergency relief items.
