This, according to Dr Bawumia will be done in collaboration with the mining companies in the area and the State Housing Corporation.  

He said, “For the houses that have been destroyed, we’re already beginning to think about how to rehabilitate and rebuild the community – so I want to assure Nananom [Chiefs] that His Excellency the President has given us directives and I have already spoken to the state housing corporation and with them in consultation with the mining companies around here, we will quickly try to put in place facilities that would help those who have been displaced”.

He reiterated the priority of the government is to redevelop the community and restore economic activities back to normalcy.

“Just to assure you that the government is fully engaged in all these process and we are going to see to it that the people here are well taken care of; we will learn lessons and those are going to be much later on but for now, we’re very much concern about how to complete this rescue effort, how to take care of the injured, how to take care of the families and people who have survived and we will work collaboratively to make sure all that happens” he assured.

Dr Mahamudu Bawumia however used the opportunity to commend the National Emergency Response Team and local residents for their relentlessness in the ongoing rescue effort, describing the incident as a sad day for the nation.
