Ibrahim Mahama constructs new roads for Mape, dredges flood zones

Ghanaian business mogul, Ibrahim Mahama, the Chief Executive Officer of Engineers & Planners and Dzata Cement, has commenced the dredging and rechanneling of stagnant water at Mape in the Volta Region, caused by the Akosombo Dam spillage induced floods.

The dredging work involves construction of new roads in the Mepe RC-St. Kizito enclave which were terribly damaged by the floods.

This was after a brief sod cutting ceremony that was done on Saturday October 28, at Mepe.

Prior to the sod cutting ceremony on Saturday, there has been some donation that was done on Tuesday to support 20,000 homes with various relief items.

Mr. Ibrahim Mahama dispatched his engineers, workers and equipment in fulfillment of a pledge he made to the Chiefs and people of the affected communities last Tuesday.

These special works are being carried out by Mr. Ibrahim Mahama company, Engineers & Planners at absolutely no financial cost to the affected communities or any other institution.

The sod cutting had in attendance the Member of Parliament  for North Tongu, Mr. Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa and the Chiefs and Queen Mothers of  Mepe. Mr. Ibrahim Mahama was represented by his Aide Rafik Mahama.

According Mr. Rafik Mahama, Aide to Mr. Ibrahim Mahama, helping the needy and giving back to society is one act Mr. Ibrahim Mahama does with passion and dedication.

He added that Mr. Mahama is working to extend similar support to those affected by the Dam spillage in Oti Region and the Northern Regions.

The Chiefs thanked Mr. Ibrahim Mahama and his team for honoring the promise made to them during the presentation of the relief items last Tuesday.

They said dredging of the place would allow the flood water that had become stagnant to move freely from the flooded areas and speed up the recovery process.

Mr. Okudzeto Ablakwa, MP for the area, expressed gratitude to Mr. Ibrahim Mahama and his team for this unique intervention.

The MP said he and the community remain forever grateful to Mr. Ibrahim Mahama for helping them with massive relief items and also now helping them to dredge the stagnant contaminated flood waters to create pathways for the flood waters to be rechanneled, plus the construction of new roads in the Mepe RC-St. Kizito enclave which were terribly damaged by the floods.
