Our Northern Regional Correspondent, Murtala Issah says the Ministry of Roads and Highways is on an assessment tour of the Northern region following the devastating floods on Monday, August 31, 2021.
The sector Minister, Kwasi Amoako Attah together with the Regional Director of Roads and Highways have been assuring residents that the problem will be addressed.
The Minister noted that there are obviously some engineering problems that need to be taken care of.
The heavy downpour in the Northern Regional Capital Tamale, lasted close to three hours, triggering floods. Residents have described it as the worst in years.
It wreaked havoc mostly in communities along the major drains at Vitin, homes along the Fou and Taha Bridge, forcing most of the residents to relocate to neighboring communities.
Valued property and economic losses due to the flood, are running into several thousands of Ghana cedis.
