A total of 600 individuals displaced by the Akosombo Dam spillage have been relocated to a modern accommodation in Mepe and Aveyime as part of the Safe Alternative Housing Initiative.
These individuals have a shelter thanks to the leadership of North Tongu Member of Parliament, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa who engaged some organisations and prominent individuals.
The individuals are living in these facilities for free as they pay no rent or utilities for the next three years.
It is the hope that in the next three years, these individuals would have resettled permanently after the spillage.
After which, both facilities in Aveyime and Mepe will be converted into a Nursing Training Institute.
According to Mr Ablakwa, that is his dream and he plans to leverage on the famous Battor Catholic Hospital.
“Glad to announce that all 600 beloved occupants of our newly commissioned North Tongu MP & Partners Safe Alternative Housing Projects in Mepe & Aveyime will enjoy free rent & free utilities for the next three years. My vision is to convert both facilities into a Nursing Training Institute leveraging on the famous Battor Catholic Hospital after three years when it is hoped that all the VRA spillage victims would have been resettled permanently,” he wrote in a post on X.
