V/R: NPA support victims of Ketu South tidal waves with relief items

The National Petroleum Authority (NPA) is committed to social responsibility. Mr. Godwin Kudzo Tameklo, the Acting Chief Executive, led a delegation to the Volta Region. They donated relief items to victims of recent tidal waves in Ketu South Municipality.

These tidal waves caused destruction in Agavedzi, Salokope, and Amutinu. Many properties were damaged, and lives were lost. Survivors had to sleep outside for several nights in bad weather. Fishermen and traders, vital to the local economy, are struggling to rebuild their lives.

In response, the NPA provided essential relief items. These included student mattresses and two-sleeper camp tents. The goal was to ease the burden on affected families.

Mr. Tameklo expressed hope that these items would help victims. He also encouraged other organizations to offer support. The donation was received by Hon. James Gunu, the Volta Regional Minister.

The Minister praised the NPA for its quick response. He highlighted the need for more institutions to assist affected communities. “The impact of these tidal waves has been devastating,” he said. “Many people have been displaced, and children have been forced out of school.”

He added that NPA’s support is a message of hope. He urged other corporate bodies and government agencies to help as well.

During his visit, Mr. Tameklo met with Togbe Afede XIV of Asogli traditional Area. He also spoke with key stakeholders like the Volta Regional Security Council about petroleum-related challenges.

Additionally, he inspected an underground LPG refilling plant in Hohoe—the first in Ghana. He urged operators there to follow safety regulations closely for everyone's protection.
