  "summary": "The Kpeshie Lagoon at Laboma is set for ecological restoration following the demolition of illegal structures within its protected buffer zone. Deputy Chief of Staff Stan Xoese Dogbe has directed the Greater Accra Regional Coordinating Council to commence the restoration of reclaimed portions of the lagoon, in collaboration with the Forestry Commission and the Environmental Protection Authority. The exercise aims to rehabilitate the degraded wetland by planting coconut and other appropriate tree species, thereby helping improve the lagoon’s ability to hold excess water during heavy rainfall and reduce the risk of flooding in surrounding communities.",
