Nkonsia: A downpour has caused havoc at Nkonsia, a farming community in the Wenchi Municipality of the Bono Region, displacing about 600 residents in the community.
According to Ghana News Agency, the rains, which accompanied incessant storms and lightning, hit the community Tuesday evening, October 21, 2025. The severe weather badly affected about 86 houses, ripped up classroom blocks, and uprooted some trees in the locality.
During a visit to the farming community on Wednesday, Mr. Tangba Kuyab, the Assembly Member for the Nkonsia Electoral Area, appealed for support. He noted that the displaced persons were currently staying with their relations and friends.
Classroom blocks of the local Presbyterian cluster of schools, and the Seventh Day Adventist (SDA) Preparatory School, as well as the Presbyterian, Maranatha, and the SDA church buildings, were among the worst affected. The situation has halted teaching and learning in those schools, as observed by school children roaming in the community.
Mr. Kuyab described the disaster as an emergency situation and called on the government, corporate bodies, and NGOs to aid the community. He mentioned that personnel from the Wenchi Municipal office of the National Disaster Management Organization have visited the community to assess the level of damage.
