Deputy Director-General of the National Disaster Management Organisation, NADMO, Seji Saji Amedonu says it will take about two weeks for the flooding situation at the three (3) Tongu Districts to normalise.
He said NADMO, the Volta River Authority, VRA and its partners are currently disinfecting and fumigating structures in the enclave as floodwaters have receded.
In an interview, Mr. Saji Amedonu said channels of drains have been constructed to free valleys still holding floodwaters.
He indicated that a lot more is being done to bring the situation back to normal.
The Deputy Director-General said some school facilities with a smaller population have been remodeled for teaching and learning for school going victims while others which were being used as havens, have resumed lessons for pupils and students, with some being used to run a shift system.
Mr Saji said humanitarian relief from public and private organisations continue to pour in and the distribution is better now, as its Central Operational centre has taken charge of the establishment of a committee.
Volta Regional Director of Food and Drugs Authority, Gorden Akurugu, said the ban on fishing in the Volta River along Mepe and Sogakope is still being enforced in view of the highly contaminated nature of floodwaters as the Authority anticipates fish poisoning cases.
He said its surveillance team with support from the Feed the Future NGO, which has a database of fishmongers in the area, are monitoring the situation closely.
North Tongu, the hardest hit enclave in addition to Central and South Tongu districts have suffered unprecedented flooding situation after the spillage of the Akosombo Dam.
