The Anlo Traditional Council in the Volta Region has charged the government to scale-up efforts to protect coastal towns, especially Keta, and its environs from being washed away by the sea.
According to them, the move will reduce the growing destruction caused by tidal waves in the area.
The spokesperson for the Council, Togbe Agbetadua Kumassah, made the request in an interview with Adom News during the 60th annual HogbetsotsoZa celebration.
Hogbetsotso is one of the indigenous festivals in Ghana. It is celebrated by the Anlo people to commemorate the escape from Notsie in Togo to their present abode in the Volta Region of Ghana, between the fourteenth and the fifteenth centuries
He also called on government to consider developing the roads and completing the abandoned One District One Factory (1D1F) project to create jobs for the youth in the area.
