Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has promised a full university scholarship to one Gertrude, who has been offering free tutoring to students affected by the Akosombo dam spillage.
Gertrude received a laptop from Mr Ablakwa during a surprise visit.
In a Twitter post on October 28, the North Tongu MP extolled “the young lady “inspiring” Gertrude for prioritising the future of the children affected above her comfort despite being affected by the flood.
“She is the first to put her own displacement misery aside and organize free classes for kids living with her in the Mepe St. Kizito Camp after they were all displaced by the VRA-induced floods,” he wrote.
He added: “This crisis has revealed how our nation is blessed with many awesome angels.”
Many residents along the Lower Volta Basin have witnessed their homes and farmlands submerged by floods caused by the spillage of the Akosombo dam by the Volta River Authority (VRA).
Communities like Battor, Tefle, Mepe, Sogakope, Adidome, and Anlo have been inundated.
