CBI Ghana Limited – producers of
Supacem cement – has donated 1000 bags of cement to Citi TV/Citi FM’s
#Relief4LowerVolta campaign for Akosombo Dam spillage flood victims.
The donation according to the
company is to help construct a resettlement centre for displaced persons.
The donation was made on behalf
of Supacem by its Head of Sales, Mr. Kojo Arthur, to the management of Citi
TV/Citi FM on Wednesday, October 25, 2023.
Mr Arthur was accompanied by
Marie-Antoine Cuttoli – Logistics Manager.
Mr. Arthur said that Supacem was
committed to supporting the people of Ghana in times of need. He noted that the
Akosombo Dam spillage had caused a lot of damage and hardship to the people of
the Lower Volta area and that Supacem was happy to help in any way it could.
Supacem also added a cash amount
of GH¢20,000 to help pay the artisans who will work on the project.
“We are deeply saddened by the
devastation caused by the Akosombo Dam spillage,” Mr. Arthur said, adding “We
hope that our donation will help to bring some relief to the affected
communities.”
Managing Director of Citi FM and
Citi TV, Samuel Attah-Mensah, thanked Supacem for its generous donation.
He said that the donation would
go a long way in helping build a resettlement centre for the flood victims to
rebuild their lives.
The #Relief4LowerVolta campaign
is a Citi TV/Citi FM-led initiative to raise funds and relief items for the
people affected by the Akosombo Dam spillage.
The campaign has helped
distribute relief items to thousands of people in the affected communities.
Meanwhile, Citi FM/Citi TV is
embarking on the next phase of support for the affected persons with its
“OperationRebuild” project, which seeks to put up facilities to help resettle
people displaced by the dam spillage.
Starting with the Torkpo
community in the Shai Osudoku District of the Greater Accra Region, the first
resettlement centre will be sited at a school in the area so that it can be
converted into a classroom after the emergency has passed.
Once the Torkpo structure is
completed, two other areas will also benefit from the same project.
Each structure will be a
dormitory-style building that can accommodate at least 200 people and will come
with ancillary facilities such as washrooms.
Mr Samuel Attah-Mensah announced
the “OperationRebuild” initiative on the Citi Breakfast Show on
Wednesday, October 25, 2023.
“The objective is to identify new
locations and resettle the people,” Mr. Attah-Mensah said.

“If you hear the accounts of the people affected by the spillage, they are in settlement camps, and they use canoes to check up on their homes. Mind you, the waters are not receding any time soon. So we need resettlement facilities for them like yesterday.”
