Minister for Roads and Highways, Governs Kwame Agbodza, has stated that the government does not find it necessary to declare a state of emergency in Ketu South, despite severe flooding that has displaced hundreds of residents.

Speaking on Eyewitness News on Thursday, March 6, 2025, Agbodza acknowledged the devastation caused by the floods but emphasized the need for long-term protective measures rather than an emergency declaration.

“I don’t know what goes into the declaration of a state of emergency. Of course, what I saw there was devastating, but I think the best thing we can do for the people living there is to proceed with the sea defence project to protect them. That, I believe, is the most effective approach,” he stated.

His remarks followed a visit by President John Dramani Mahama and key government officials to the affected areas in the Ketu South Constituency, including Salakope, Amutinu, and Agavedzi, where tidal waves have wreaked havoc on homes and livelihoods.

Agbodza assured residents that the government is committed to addressing the crisis with a comprehensive response.

“There are a series of measures the government will implement. All key ministers have visited the affected communities, and discussions are ongoing to determine the necessary support systems while working on a long-term solution,” he added.

Meanwhile, President Mahama has instructed Finance Minister Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson to allocate funds for the commencement of phase two of the Blekusu Sea Defence Project. The project aims to provide a lasting solution to the recurrent flooding issue in the region.

During his visit to Agavedzi in the Volta Region, the President assessed the extent of the destruction and reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to protecting coastal communities from the impact of tidal waves.
