South Tongu, Volta Region – On this Independence Day, President John Mahama dedicated his time to visiting the disaster-stricken areas in South Tongu, Volta Region. Witnessing the devastation firsthand, Mahama expressed his solidarity with the brave people of Amutinu, Salakope, and Agavedzi as they grappled with the aftermath of tidal waves. “My heart was with the resilient people of Amutinu, Salakope, and Agavedzi as they faced the devastating aftermath of tidal waves,” he said.
The President spent the afternoon in these communities, observing the immense challenges they endure and providing essential food, relief items, and financial support.
