Mr. Francis Akurugu Asampana, District Chief Executive (DCE) for Bongo in the Upper Region, at the weekend announced that roofing sheets, nails, cement and other building materials provided by government for flood victims in the area, had arrived and would soon be distributed to beneficiaries.
He said the National Disaster Management Organization (NADMO) had completed its assessment and a committee had been formed to re-assess NADMO’s report after which the materials would be distributed to the victims.
Mr Asampana made the announcement during this year’s celebration of Azambene festival by the citizens of Bongo.
The event, which was organised under the theme “Culture Re-Awakened to Promote Education,” was aimed at uniting the people and to take stock of the past and explore ways of developing the area.
Mr Asampana gave the assurance that the materials would be distributed fairly based on the assessment of NADMO.
He said a National Health Insurance Fund would soon be launched in the district to assist those who could not afford to pay medical bills.
Mr Asampana said government was working around the clock to tar the Bolgatanga-Bongo road to facilitate economic activities there.
The DCE urged Bongo citizens in the Diaspora to contribute to the development of the area
