Bongo MP appeals for immediate aid as rainstorm destroys schools

The Member of Parliament for Bongo, Charles Adongo Bawaduah, has appealed to the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO), state institutions, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), and corporate bodies to assist in rebuilding efforts after a devastating rainstorm struck the area.

The storm caused significant damage, completely ripping off the roofs of eight schools, and severely disrupting teaching and learning.

Speaking to Citi News, the MP stressed the urgency of the situation and called on NADMO and other relevant agencies to act swiftly in restoring the affected schools to ensure students can resume their studies without further delays.

“We are still engaging with the authorities, and they have assured us they will get back to us on the situation. This is extremely urgent, and I urge the government, in particular, to act expeditiously so we can fix this issue,” he stated.

Mr. Bawaduah also noted that his office had already initiated some efforts to support the affected communities but emphasised the need for more assistance.

“I have personally made some contributions to address the situation, but more support is needed. I appeal to individuals, companies, NGOs, and any organisation capable of helping to come forward so we can resolve this issue together,” he added.
