Mahama assures Akosombo spillage victims of fair compensation as verification nears completion

The government has allocated GH¢225 million in this year's budget to support victims of the October 2023 dam spillage, which displaced thousands of people and destroyed property in several communities within the Volta Region.

Addressing residents during his Resetting Ghana tour of the Volta Region on Thursday, the President said the government was finalising the administrative procedures required to ensure compensation is paid in a fair, transparent and accountable manner.

President John Dramani Mahama has reaffirmed his government's commitment to compensating victims of the 2023 Akosombo and Kpong dam spillage, announcing that the verification and assessment process is nearing completion ahead of the commencement of payments.
