President has officially broken ground for the second phase of the Blekusu Coastal Protection Project, aimed at safeguarding five communities in the Volta Region from the threat of tidal waves.
The groundbreaking ceremony took place on July 19, 2025, at Agavedzi, where he addressed a durbar of chiefs and residents. "This is not merely symbolic, but rather a clear demonstration of what responsible leadership can do, when it cares, when it listens, when it acts," he stated.
The second phase of the project will provide protection for the coastal communities of Blekusu, Agavedzi, Salakope, Amutinu, and Adina.
These towns have suffered severe damage from tidal waves in recent years, with homes, livelihoods, and farmlands lost to coastal erosion.
