Mahama criticizes tidal wave resettlement project, calls for relocation

President John Dramani Mahama has expressed dissatisfaction with the resettlement efforts for tidal wave victims in the Volta Region, describing the current site as inadequate and poorly planned.

During a visit to Agavedzi and other affected areas, Mahama inspected the damage and raised concerns over the resettlement project, reportedly funded by Ghana Gas.

He criticized the site’s location in a flood-prone area, warning that it is unfit for long-term habitation.

“The work is shoddy, and the area itself is prone to flooding. These buildings are not fit for purpose,” he stated.

Mahama called for a review of the project and emphasized the need for both an improved resettlement plan and the continuation of the sea defense wall to protect affected communities.
