    President John Dramani Mahama has expressed his commitment to handle Accra’s perennial flooding issues by forming a seven-member Anti-Flood Taskforce to take on the issue head-on.

    The Taskforce, led by Mr. Stanislav Xoese Dogbe, Deputy Chief of Staff (Operations), started its work on Wednesday, March 12, 2025, by conducting a thorough evaluation of the capital’s flood-prone zones.

    In order to stop future flooding disasters, the Taskforce reassured Ghanaians that they were determined to find sustainable engineering solutions.

    The members of the committee include:

    Stanislav Xoese Dogbe – Deputy Chief of Staff (Operations), Chair

    Kenneth Gilbert Adjei – Minister for Water Resources, Works & Housing

    Ahmed Ibrahim – Minister for Local Government

    DCOP Abdul Osman Razak – National Security Coordinator

    Teddy Addi – Deputy Director-General of NADMO

    On the third day of its meetings, the Taskforce started an aircraft reconnaissance trip over important flood-prone areas, including the Tema Fishing Harbour area, Sakumo Ramsar Site, and Weija.

    The goal is to collect crucial information that will direct the use of long-term engineering fixes and flood control strategies.

    The 48 Engineers Regiment Commander, Brigadier General Richard Kinney, stated that inhabitants’ lack of discipline, such as erecting buildings on streams, has been a significant factor in the ongoing floods.

    Strict measures would be implemented, he underlined, including prohibiting unauthorized development in waterways.

    Additionally, a road reconnaissance operation is planned to allow for an evaluation of susceptible locations from the ground up.

    During a briefing, the Deputy Chief of Staff revealed that urgent measures, such as desilting large drains, will shortly begin.

    The 48 Engineers Regiment of the Ghanaian Armed Forces, working with local government officials, will accomplish this.
