Some Akosombo dam spillage victims at Mepe still living in classrooms

The relocation of flood victims in the North Tongu District of the Volta Region is still in progress, with some individuals yet to be moved from Roman Catholic Junior High School classrooms to temporary shelters in Aveyime and Degorme.

Approximately 99% of the victims have been relocated by efforts led by Togbe Kwasi Nego VI, the Mankralo of Mepe, and Mr. Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, the Member of Parliament (MP) for North Tongu.

While the majority of the victims have already been moved to facilitate academic activities, a few individuals continue to live in the classrooms or have relocated to stay with relatives.

Some of the relocated victims expressed satisfaction with the new locations, citing improved privacy and hygiene conditions. However, concerns were raised about security, and calls were made for government support to rebuild homes and restore livelihoods.

The authorities are actively managing food safety and environmental issues in the relocated areas. Efforts are being made to address structural integrity concerns for certain houses, and further support is sought for the remaining victims.
