Ministry Marathon

With our minds almost set on Alajo as the point of concentration we decided to make a ministry run to find out any relevant information on the same. We started the day with a fixed appointment with Mr. Joseph Ankra of NADMO (National Disaster Management Organization), which governmental organization dealing with disasters all over the nation. He briefed us on the structure and working of NADMO along with some basis ideas of disaster management and preparedness they undertake. He provided us with an emergency preparedness plan and suggested we talk to a colleague of his who is supposed to have further data that might be useful to us. With a meeting tentatively fixed in the coming week, we were advice to go to the Ministry of Transport Roads and Highways to get information on the road network and connectivity maps. From this point it was a day full of ministry meetings, started by all 3 barging into offices and asking for details. Bemused people sent us from floor to floor, building to building, department to department, ministry to ministry, everyone thinking the other will be a better door to knock at. Even though the day ended without much of information, we had a clear idea of the working of all the ministries and their inter-dependencies which we are sure will help us in the coming days to get some hard data.
