Akosombo Dam: Victims call for proper resettlement plan over impending spillage

Residents in Lower Volta Basin communities, still suffering from last year's Akosombo Dam spillage, are demanding proper resettlement before the next controlled release.

After months in overcrowded, unsanitary camps, they feel abandoned by the government, which promised suitable homes.

The 2023 spillage devastated areas like Mepe, displacing many and causing severe flooding.

Community leaders urge immediate compensation, improved communication from the Volta River Authority, and infrastructure repairs to prevent further damage.

With another spillage looming, residents stress the urgent need for government action.
