Mahama directs Finance Minister to fund Phase II of Blekusu Sea Defence Project

President John Dramani Mahama has directed the Finance Minister to allocate funds for the second phase of the Blekusu Sea Defence Project to curb flooding along Ghana’s coastline.

Speaking during a visit to Agavedzi in the Volta Region, Mahama assessed the destruction caused by tidal waves, which have displaced hundreds in Salakope, Amutinu, and Agavedzi.

“So I am going to ask the Finance Minister to include funding to start phase two of the Blekusu Sea Defence Project,” he stated.

Mahama stressed the need for a dual approach, urging both the immediate construction of the sea defense wall and the relocation of affected residents to a safer area.
