Kenneth Adjel, visited Agavedzi to engage residents ahead of the commencement of Phase II of the Coastal Protection Project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He was joined by Volta Regional Minister Hon. James Gunu, who reassured the community that government\u2019s promises are being fulfilled and will continue to the letter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Minister announced that Messrs Amandi Holding Limited will construct 8 km of sea defense and key facilities including a fish market and cold store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The visit marks a critical step in mobilizing local support before sod-cutting and full
