NCC boss blames Ghana's flood crisis on loss of cultural values
Wakefield Ackuaku, Executive Director of the National Commission on Culture (NCC), argued on Joy FM's Showbiz A-Z that Ghana's recurring floods are "not merely an environmental problem but a reflection of the country's declining cultural values." He stated that persistent flooding stems from a departure from principles and discipline that once guided Ghanaian communities.
Ackuaku explained that indiscriminate dumping of refuse, poor sanitation practices, and general disregard for the environment would have been unacceptable in traditional Ghanaian societies.
