The government has assured that it will construct a bridge over the Ogbojo storm drain after a seven-year-old pupil drowned in it.
The incident occurred on Friday around Ogbojo in the Adentan Municipality whilst attempting to cross an open drain, with no retaining walls.
The tragic incident happened when the deceased, Prince Wisdom Mawuena, was returning from school.
The Adentan Member of Parliament, Mohammed Adamu Ramadan, who made this known on the floor of Parliament, blamed the unfortunate incident on the government’s failure to construct a bridge over the drain despite several appeals to the sector Minister on steps being taken to address the challenge in the wake of the rainy season.
The Roads and Highways Minister, Kwesi Amoako Atta, in response, assured that provision for the construction of the bridge would be made in the 2022 budget.
