The Member of Parliament for North Tongu Constituency, Hon. Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has led a sod-cutting ceremony for construction to begin on a First Sky Group housing project to relocate about 12,000 displaced families within his constituency.
Many families along the Volta River in some parts of the Eastern and Volta Regions were affected by floods resulting from the Akosombo Dam spillage by the Volta River Authority (VRA) about a fortnight ago.
First Sky’s subsidiary known as Construction Ambassadors are executing the project which they promise to complete in record time.
As their contribution, they are offering free land at all agreed three locations. Additionally, the constituents are willing and ready to provide communal labour support to ensure that the company is able to undertake the implementation of the project as expected.
According to the lawmaker, the relocation will begin to restore the dignity of his beloved constituents, ensure they live in much healthier conditions, and free the 21 schools being used as safe havens so that their children can return to school.
“North Tongu shall never forget the generosity and humanity of the First Sky Group. May God bless you all bountifully. Together, we shall survive this man-made disaster” he stressed.
