Mahama cuts sod for sea defence project
The presentation was made on the sidelines of the sod cutting ceremony to commence phase two of the Blekusu Sea Defence project in Ketu South.
Accompanied by the Member of Parliament for Ketu South and Minister for Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts, Abla Dzifa Gomashie, Former President John Dramani Mahama has officially broken ground for phase two of the Blekusu Sea Defence project.
This long-anticipated initiative by the people of Ketu South marks a significant move to combat the coastal erosion that has troubled the area for decades.
Phase two will see the extension of protective infrastructure along vulnerable parts of the coastline, offering relief to several communities frequently affected by destructive tidal waves.
Mahama, who launched the project’s first phase during his initial term, stressed the urgent need to complete the second phase to secure the long-term safety and resilience of the coastal region.
The second phase of the Blekusu Coastal Protection Project, which is expected to be completed within 48 months, involves constructing 37 armour rock groynes spaced approximately 220 metres apart, coupled with land reclamation to safeguard eight kilometres of shoreline.
