Ablakwa relocates 300 VRA-induced flood victims from classrooms to a new Housing Project

Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, the Honourable Member of Parliament for North Tongu Constituency has relocated the first 300 VRA-induced flood victims from congested schools to a new Safe Alternative Housing Project at Aveyime-Battor on Saturday, 9th December, 2023.

According to the Member of Parliament, tonight, some 300 beloved constituents of his are going to bed in far better conditions than the congested classrooms they have been compelled to live in for the past 10 weeks after the Akosombo Dam spillage.

He said, as emphasized earlier, all occupants of the Safe Alternative Housing Project at Aveyime-Battor will not pay rent.

The MP’s office shall also take care of all utilities (electricity and water bills) until the displaced constituents are resettled in their permanent homes.

Ablakwa further explained that, this Safe Alternative Housing Project provides another key advantage of ensuring that all displaced persons at Mepe St. Kizito Senior Technical School have now been relocated so that the school which almost collapsed would be saved.

The stranded 800 first year students can now report to school. Continuing students in 2nd and 3rd year can also prepare to resume after losing some 6 weeks.

As the MP is happy for a successful relocation day, he express his appreciation to the Construction Ambassadors of the First Sky Group for the building, revered chiefs for the land, the MP’s office for furnishing and courtyard preparation.

“My office will strongly support every effort to revive St. Kizito and offer special interventions to catch up with schools across the country.”

“I commend all our volunteers and partners who made this new beautiful housing project possible in just 7 weeks.”

“Now, let’s go make our second Safe Alternative Housing Project in Mepe another success. In this together, rising together.” He said.
