Mr. Oko Vanderpuije, the Mayor of Accra, has announced that the Korle Lagoon dredging project will start in February, according to citifmonline.com.
This project, which requires a relocation of the Sodom and Gomorrah residents, has been delayed due to financial problems.
Dredging of the Sodom and Gomorrah, Nima, Kotabi – areas is a part of the city upgrading project which is scheduled to begin this year.
Large amounts of waste in the Odaw River increase the possibility of flood risk in this area.
“ The Odaw project, the construction of the drains, the construction and improvement of landfills in Accra and all other aspects of sanitation and sewage projects is underway, ” said the major in a radio interview today.
