President Akufo-Addo has directed the Ministry for Works and Housing to conduct a comprehensive integrity audit of all public buildings in the country.
The President wants the ministry to carry out this assessment in order to advise government on how best to ensure the safety of Ghanaians in the event of an earthquake and other disasters.
Nana Akufo-Addo said this at a stakeholder's conference on Ghana's earthquake preparedness and response held on Thursday, April 8, 2021.
“An earthquake does not kill, it is however the collapse of structures that is responsible for the losses. This means that to avoid such situations in the future, we need to ensure that buildings and structures are resilient to the impact of earthquakes.”
