Gov’t Commissions New Appiatse Township – PICTURES

The community of Appiatse in the Prestea Huni-Valley Municipality of the Western Region is witnessing a rebirth following the tragic explosion that rocked the area in 2022.

With the government's unwavering commitment to rebuild the shattered community, Appiatse is now on the path to recovery, symbolized by the construction of new homes and essential infrastructure.

The devastating explosion, which occurred when a vehicle transporting mining explosives collided with a motorcycle, resulted in the loss of lives, displacement of families, and widespread destruction of property. However, the spirit of the Appiatse community remained unbroken, and with the support of government initiatives, hope began to emerge from the rubble.

On Thursday, May 2, 2024, a significant milestone was reached as Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia led the commissioning of 120 newly constructed housing units in Appiatse. These homes, comprising the first phase of the government's relief efforts, stand as symbols of resilience and progress for the community.
