After years of devastating tidal waves and urgent calls for intervention, residents of Agavedzi, Salakope, and surrounding coastal communities can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
The Government of Ghana has awarded the long-awaited Phase II of the Blekusu Sea Defence Project to Amandi Holdings Ltd., marking the official start of construction works aimed at protecting lives, homes, and livelihoods along the coastline.
The Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, broke the news in a Facebook post that has since sparked widespread excitement among affected communities.
He confirmed that Amandi is already on site, mobilizing equipment and setting up an operational base at Azizadzi in preparation for full-scale construction. "I'm pleased to inform you that the Phase II of the Blekusu Sea Defence Project has officially been awarded to Amandi," Mr Gunu announced. "The company is currently mobilizing and setting up its operational base at Azizadzi, ahead of full-scale commencement of construction works." In anticipation of the project's commencement, the Volta Regional Coordinating Council (VRCC), with support from Eximbank, has made temporary shelters available for affected residents.
