Chief of Staff at the Office of the Vice President,  Alex Segbefia, has assured the people of Keta and surrounding coastal communities in the Volta Region of the government’s unwavering commitment to completing the Keta Sea Defence Project.

The initiative, he said, is aimed at mitigating the long-standing frustrations and environmental threats faced by residents in the area.

Speaking on behalf of Her Excellency Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, Vice President of the Republic, Mr. Segbefia joined the people of the Volta Region to celebrate this year’s Easter festivities.

He was accompanied by the Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, as they toured several communities, including Keta, Alakple, and Kedzi.

During his visit to Alakple, Mr Segbefia, on behalf of the Vice President’s office, made a financial donation of an undisclosed amount in support of the construction of a CHPS compound and a road project to enhance healthcare delivery and local infrastructure.

Addressing residents, Mr Segbefia emphasised that the Keta Sea Defence Project is a top priority for the government and forms part of a broader strategy to address the impact of coastal erosion in other vulnerable communities along Ghana’s coastline.

He expressed gratitude to the people of the Volta Region for their overwhelming support for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the 2024 general elections and reassured them of the government’s dedication to addressing the region’s development challenges.
