The Nkwanta North District Assembly has organised a massive sanitation exercise to clean up public spaces and improve environmental hygiene ahead of the district’s upcoming Yam Festival.
The exercise, held on Friday, brought together officials of the Assembly, security personnel, students, teachers, community representatives and volunteers in a collective effort to rid the district of refuse and improve sanitary conditions.
The exercise was led by the District Chief Executive, Dordoe Kudjoe Isaiah, and supported by the District Coordinating Director, Samuel Gyamena, alongside other Assembly officials and local representatives.
Addressing participants during the exercise, Mr Isaiah urged residents to make environmental cleanliness a daily responsibility rather than an activity undertaken only in preparation for festivals and other special occasions.
He called on residents to take personal responsibility for maintaining clean surroundings, stressing the importance of collective action in promoting public health and preventing sanitation-related challenges.
The exercise forms part of the Assembly’s efforts to improve environmental sanitation and safeguard public health as the district prepares to welcome residents and visitors for the Yam Festival.
The Assembly says maintaining a clean environment remains essential to ensuring a healthy community and creating a suitable atmosphere for the cultural celebrations.
