The Bono Regional Directorate of the National Disaster Management Organization (NADMO) has presented 115 pieces of life jackets to the fishing community at

Banda Bongase in the Banda District of the Bono Region.

Mrs Fati Kine Lam, the Bono Regional Director of the NADMO made the presentation at a short ceremony at Banda-Ahenkro, saying that reflective jackets

were to protect the children, fishermen and fish mongers who cross the Bui dam reservoir upstream.

She emphasised that the safety of the people remained non-negotiable, stressing the government's dedication towards addressing emerging challenges confronting the fishing communities in the country.

"NADMO is set up for disaster prevention and management", Mrs Lam explained and cautioned opinion leaders in the fishing community to ensure that the jackets were utilized for the intended purposes.

Mrs Lam called for effective collaboration between the chiefs and the Banda

District Assembly and stakeholders in ensuring strict adherence to safety protocols on the Bui Dam reservoir
