FOUR Persons on Thursday night sustained injuries after a Toyota land Cruiser with registration Ge 2686 -14 traveling in President mahama's convoy during his tour in the afram Plains of the eastern region was involved in an accident.
The four accident victims believed to be part of the communication bureau at the presidency in the convoy heading from Donkorkrom to Agordeke on the Volta Lake, were treated by the President's medical team after the incident and later continued the journey to commission the ferry.
The accident reportedly occurred at an area between Donkorkrom and Adiembra en route to the Afram Plains at 7 pm.
President Mahama, last Tuesday, stormed the region to begin the second phase of his “Accounting To The People” tour to inspect and commission some projects his administration has undertaken in the region.
President John Mahama who commissioned a new ferry and a water taxi for residents of Agordeke in the Afram Plains North District at 11:50 pm on Thursday night, said Agordeke, the fishing community, is among one of the busiest commercial communities in the district but has almost become a ghost town when the pontoon broke down for the past ten years.
President Mahama said, government noted the negative effect the absence of the ferry had on the people hence the provision of a new one and a water taxi.
The President also added that, the facilities would help reduce the disturbing news of boat accidents on the lake, and assured the residents that the Donkorkrom to Agordeke road would be rehabilitated. Residents in the area, expressed gratitude to the President for the facilities provided.
Eastern University
President John Mahama assured also that the sod cutting for the construction of the Eastern University will commence soon. “As part of sharing the national cake to all regions and constituencies, the government of Ghana led by President Mahama promised to bring one university to the Eastern Region which will be located at Somanya” he stated. He added that experts that will be produced by the Eastern University will help train the local farmers in agriculture, which is the mainstay of the people in the area.
