The Pusiga District Assembly in the Upper East Region is supporting the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO), to sensitize communities along the White Volta River, mostly proned to floods, on the need to protect their assets.
The Assembly has also made provision in its budget to procure relief items that may be needed to support disaster victims during the rainy season as the period is usually characterized by rainstorms and floods.
Mr Alhassan Abogbilah, the District Chief Executive (DCE), in an interview with the Ghana News Agency in Pusiga on Wednesday, urged the people living along the banks of the White Volta, to either re-locate or monitor the movements of water in the river to avoid floods.
Mr Abogbilah said the Assembly was committed to developing the district by mobilizing the available resources in the area.
He disclosed that as part of efforts to improve on the road net work in the district, the Assembly had planned to rehabilitate roads to link up the district to other communities, to improve on the socio-economic activities in the area.
He hinted that about 1.5 million Ghana Cedis had been voted by the Assembly to construct an office accommodation which was expected to be completed in six week�s time.
He urged the people to complement government�s effort at sustaining the development of the district, by contributing their quota towards development projects.
