Olam Agri and Nutrifoods Support Akosombo Flood Victims
Olam Agri, the country’s leading supply chain manager in agri-commodity, and its sister company, Nutrifoods, a top food manufacturer in Ghana, on Friday, presented a consignment of relief items to flood victims of the Akosombo Dam spillage.
In mid-October, the Volta River Authority (VRA) began spilling water from the Akosombo reservoir to protect the dam from overtopping.
The influx of large volumes of water has raised levels, causing excessive flooding in several low-lying areas along the Volta River, including, but not limited to, Mepe, Battor, Sogakope, Mafi, Adidome, and Ada.
