The Abuakwa North Municipality demonstrated a strong commitment to environmental cleanliness this past Saturday as the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), Charles Darko Yeboah, widely known as Ozey, spearheaded another impactful National Sanitation Day exercise.

The communal cleanup, held in Akyem Old Tafo, garnered enthusiastic participation from a broad spectrum of the community.

The exercise saw the active involvement of key figures, including the Coordinating Director, the Municipal NADMO Director, dedicated staff members of the Municipal Assembly, representatives from the various security services, and a significant turnout from the general public.



Together, they dedicated their morning to clearing refuse, de-silting drains, and generally beautifying the municipality.

In an exclusive interview with Ghanaweb journalist Eric Obeng Boateng, following the successful cleanup, Charles Darko Yeboah issued a compelling call to action for all residents.

He underscored the vital importance of consistent participation in the National Sanitation Day exercise, highlighting its significance as a national initiative championed by President John Mahama.



"This is not just a local endeavor; it is a national program aimed at fostering a healthier and more sanitary environment for all Ghanaians," stated Charles Yeboah.

He emphasised that the exercise, which is constitutionally mandated to take place on the first Saturday of every month, hinges on the collective responsibility and proactive engagement of every citizen.

The MCE further stressed that maintaining a clean environment is not solely the responsibility of the government or the assembly, but a shared duty that requires the consistent effort and commitment of every individual and household within the Abuakwa North Municipality.

His address served as a powerful reminder that a cleaner municipality is a healthier and more prosperous one for all.

The success of this month's exercise serves as a testament to the dedication of the leadership and the growing commitment of the residents to a cleaner Abuakwa North.
