Ghanaian patriotism on full display on National General Cleaning Day

The Ghanaian patriotism was at full glare last Friday and Saturday when hundreds hit the streets as part of the National General Cleaning Days to clean their various communities.

The two days were declared by the President, John Dramani Mahama after the last flooding that submerged parts of the capital and recorded many deaths.

Leading by example, President John Mahama, his vice Prof. Naana Jane Opoku- Agyemang and government officials were seen joining the masses to clean some of the worse affected areas.

The focus was on clearing refuse, gutters and clear every obstacle that hinders the free flow of flood waters.

The exercise also drew a number of sanitation workers, security services, community leaders, students, and volunteers who cleaned streets, markets, drains, beaches, and other public spaces.

Addressing the media, the President after taking part in cleaning the Alajo area emphasized that maintaining a clean environment was a shared responsibility and called on Ghanaians to make cleanliness a daily habit.

The clean-up exercise reflects the government’s commitment to promoting environmental cleanliness and encouraging collective action to ensure a healthier Ghana.
