The Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) led by Mayor, Michael Kpakpo Allotey has held its third and final National Sanitation Day (NSD) exercise for 2025 across the metropolis.
The Mayor, Hon. Michael Kpakpo Allotey, during the clean up excercise urged residents and traders to sustain the cleanliness achieved during the exercise throughout the Christmas season and beyond.
The exercise, which started at 6:00 a.m. on Saturday, December 13, was carried out within the Accra Metropolis to improve environmental hygiene ahead of the Christmas and end-of-year festivities.
Cleansing activities covered desilting and cleaning of open and covered drains, brushing and washing of road kerbs and medians, sweeping of streets and lanes, and general clean-up operations in markets, lorry parks, beaches and other public spaces.
The operation covered all electoral areas, markets and the Central Business District (CBD), with intensified work in Chorkor and Chemu Naa, as well as at Dogo Beach. In the Chorkor and Chemu Naa areas, teams desilted drains and cleared inner lanes, particularly in litter-prone sections, while at Dogo Beach the focus was on removing solid waste along the shoreline to improve environmental hygiene along the beachfront.
Along the Graphic Road corridor, the exercise focused on sweeping and clearing refuse along road shoulders, while at Agbogbloshie, teams desilted major drains.
Interacting with the traders along the Kinbu, Tudu and Makola enclave during inspection, the Mayor of Accra commended the traders for coming out in their numbers and said many had started cleaning their respective areas as early as 5:00 a.m.
