President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has charged the Engineering Council of the Ministry of Works and Housing to undertake a comprehensive integrity audit of all public buildings and structures and advise the government appropriately.
That was to enable the government to prepare the country to withstand any seismic activities, particularly earthquake, he said.
