Today, I led a delegation from the Nadmo secretariat to ascertain for themselves possible areas in Bortianor Ngleshie Amanfro that needed urgent dredging as well as long term solution.

The team from Nadmo was made up of Nana Agyeman Prempeh, the CEO for Nadmo, Achibold Coblah, Regional Nadmo Director, Wonder Jeggah, the District Nadmo Director in Charge of operations and other officials from the Nadmo secretariat.

I led them to see the storm drain behind the resurrection Church near Brigade. This storm drain actually receives huge volumes of water from several places around Brigade, Treasureland and also overflows from the canal during heavy downpours. I also led them to visit the drain behind the Ss Peter and Paul near the West Hill mall. This storm drain also provides avenues for the huge volumes of water from Red top, New Bortianor, Adanseman and other areas in Akwasa all in BNA to get to its destination during a downpour.

Nana Agyemang Prempeh, the CEO of Nadmo tasked the local Nadmo officers to as a matter of urgency provide a comprehensive assessment of the issues for a long term solution to be provided. He has however, agreed to make the dredging of these areas a priority. Hence, in the coming days, we shall witness some dredging works on some of our storm drains to help reduce flooding in our communities.
