🚤 NADMO DONATES ENGINE-POWERED BOAT TO KPASENKPE TRADITIONAL AREA - North East Region
The National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) has donated an engine-powered boat and life jackets to the Kpasenkpe Traditional Area in the West Mamprusi Municipality to support safe transportation across the White Volta.
The donation follows a request made by the community during NADMO’s assessment visit last year. According to the Director of Operations, Col. Lawrence Ahlie, the request was forwarded to the Director-General, Major Dr. Joseph Bikanyi Kuyon, who made provision for the boat.
Col. Ahlie congratulated the two trained Disaster Volunteer Group members who will operate the boat and cautioned that only trained personnel should operate it to prevent accidents and loss of lives and property. He also stressed the importance of regular maintenance to ensure the boat serves the community for a long time.
The MCE for West Mamprusi Municipality, Hon. Mohammed Rabiyu Jabaa, welcomed the intervention and pledged the Assembly’s support towards maintaining the boat. He noted that the boat will provide much-needed relief, particularly during the rainy season, while supporting access to healthcare and other essential activities.
The Regent and elders of the Kpasenkpe Traditional Area expressed their appreciation to NADMO and the Government of Ghana, pledging to ensure the boat is used responsibly for the benefit of the community and neighbouring communities.
