Former President John Dramani Mahama has visited Sogakope and Sokpoe, two of the communities along the Volta River, affected by the spillage of the Akosombo Dam.
He urged the Volta River Authority(VRA) to expedite efforts to provide the communities, facilities, and residents dislocated by the floods with immediate relief support.
The VRA over the past 4 days began spillage of the Akosombo Dam which provides a chunk of Ghana’s electricity citing that the Dam has reached its full capacity after a series of rain.
This action has adversely affected communities downstream of the dam, destroying properties and displacing hundreds of residents along the river bank in the Volta River.
