Citi FM/Citi TV takes bold step to build resettlement centres for Akosombo Dam spillage victims

In a bold and commendable move, Citi FM/Citi TV is building resettlement centres for people affected by the Akosombo dam spillage.

Now, Citi FM/Citi TV is embarking on the next phase of support for the affected persons with its “OperationRebuild” project, which seeks to put up facilities to help resettle people displaced by the dam spillage.

Starting with the Torkpo community in the Shai Osudoku District of the Greater Accra Region, the first resettlement centre will be sited at a school in the area so that it can be converted into a classroom after the emergency has passed.

Each structure will be a dormitory-style building that can accommodate at least 200 people and will come with ancillary facilities such as washrooms.

“We are saying that we will start off by building some of these shelters for them,” Attah-Mensah continued.

“The shelter is a dormitory style which will contain about 200 people

Attah-Mensah noted that the first structure, which is estimated to cost about GH¢200,000, will be put up using local artisans.
