Recurring floods expose growing humanitarian crisis in Agbozume as hundreds receive emergency relief
Akonta Felix Akakpo- Togbui Tenuvi II donated emergency relief items to 275 flood victims in Agbozume following recent floods in several communities in the Ketu South Municipality. The distribution took place at the forecourt of Torgbui Hor's Palace and benefited residents from Amefinukope, Babanawokorpe, Agbozume Zongo, Agbozume Sokladzi, and E.P. Kpota. Items distributed included 250 kilograms of rice, 10 cartons of sardines, 200 mosquito nets, 4 sacks of maize, 200 litres of cooking oil, and 10 cartons of spaghetti.
Akonta Felix Akakpo stressed that while emergency relief is important, preventing floods should remain the country's priority. He called for stricter enforcement of planning regulations, stating that indiscriminate construction on waterways continues to worsen flooding in many communities. He said, "Flooding remains a national challenge, many aspects of which are preventable. Building on waterways must be a nonstarter." The relief items were presented on his behalf by his brother, Dynamic Akakpo, together with officials of the Ketu South National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO).
