President John Dramani Mahama has directed the flood taskforce of the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) and other relevant state agencies to prepare a comprehensive presentation on Ghana’s flooding situation following recent flooding incidents across parts of the country, particularly in Accra.
According to the President, the presentation will help government identify critical flood-prone areas, including restricted waterways, and inform both immediate and long-term interventions to address the recurring challenge. President Mahama issued the directive on Tuesday, June 9, 2026, at the Accra International Airport shortly after returning from an official visit to Belarus.
His remarks come amid widespread flooding in several communities, with Accra among the hardest-hit areas following heavy and prolonged rainfall.
The President noted that the intensity of this year’s rains, which began in May and have persisted into June, has exacerbated the situation compared to previous years, causing significant disruption in affected communities.
