Collaborating with the newly confirmed Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), Hon. Daniel Dagba, the relief operation aimed to provide critical support to affected families.
Comprehensive Assessment and Relief Distribution.
A high-profile delegation, including Hon. Mawuli Ocloo Egos, Municipal Director of NADMO, and Mr. Anthony Kwadzo Owusu, NDC Constituency Chairman, conducted a comprehensive assessment of the affected areas.

During his visit to the affected communities, Rt Hon. Ahiafor emphasized the importance of unity, peace, and collaboration in restoring normalcy to the region.
He stated, “Though I was far away physically, my heart remained with you. I am here today not just as your MP, but as your brother. We will rebuild together.” This sentiment resonated deeply with the affected residents, reaffirming the MP’s dedication to the people he serves.
