The Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) campus has been flooded following heavy rainfall.
The flooding has hit parts of the campus of KNUST, resulting in the bridge along Mecca Road being submerged by rising water levels.
Reports suggest the busy Mecca Road and Casely Hayford area are heavily flooded as the Wiwi River overflows its banks following a downpour.
According to reports, the flooding has disrupted movement along the affected sections of the campus, with floodwaters inundating roads and surrounding areas after heavy rainfall caused the river to exceed its capacity.
Meanwhile, students and other road users have been advised to avoid the route or exercise extreme caution to ensure their safety.
In related news, Mohammed Muntaka Mubarak, the Minister for the Interior, has disclosed that 70 excavators seized from illegal mining operators will be handed over to the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO).
The Minister for the Interior revealed that the excavators will be handed to NADMO to support the nationwide desilting exercise aimed at addressing the flooding challenges across the country.
According to the Minister, the confiscated equipment during anti-galamsey operations will be redeployed for public use to improve drainage systems and reduce the impact of flooding in urban centres, particularly Accra.
Responding to questions on the Floor of Parliament on Wednesday, June 10, the Interior Minister made this known, saying, “Currently, what we are doing is that all the seized excavators from the illegal mining activities – we agreed that about 70 of them should be given to NADMO so that they can take them across the country to do desilting.
“We will do the handover next week so that they can use them to desilt most of the drains, but the bottom line is we should begin to clean our surroundings.”
Meanwhile, the Ghana Meteorological Agency (GMeT) has warned Ghanaians of more rains across both coastal and inland areas in the coming days.
According to the GmeT, residents must be alert and stay away from flood-prone communities.
Joseph Tetteh Portuphy, the Deputy Director in charge of Forecasting at GmeT, explains that further rains are expected.
He cautioned that places already saturated trigger flooding in vulnerable communities.
Speaking to Citi News, the Deputy Director in charge of Forecasting at GmeT stated, “Over the coast and inland areas… but for us on the eastern coast, since it is a system that is passing, later in the day it will come down. Places are already flooded. Any little rain that comes again will flood the places. So we should be cautious and avoid places that are already saturated and already flooded”.
“We should also make sure that they stay tuned to the weather information. As I said, we are still in June. And until we get out of June, we should expect more of these rains to come,” he added.
