Ghanaians showed their commitment to keeping a cleaner environment by taking part in the maiden National Sanitation Day cleanup exercise following its official relaunch.
The exercise kicked off early in the day and continued until mid-day in places like Madina, Nima, Chorkor, and Agbogbloshie.
The cleanup, organised by the Ministry of Sanitation and Water Resources, focused on sweeping streets, clearing gutters, collecting plastic waste, and disinfecting public spaces.
Chiefs, community leaders, youth groups, and sanitation officers joined forces to put their hands to the plough, seeing it as a moment of community pride and shared responsibility.
The relaunch comes at a time when Ghana faces health concerns linked to poor sanitation, including cholera and malaria.
By reviving the National Sanitation Day, the government hopes to restore the culture of communal labour, reminding citizens that keeping the environment clean is not just a duty but a way of life.

One group that stood out during the cleanup was the Buz Stop Boys, a youth-led volunteer team known for their street-smart energy and community spirit.
Armed with brooms, shovels, and unmatched enthusiasm, they cleaned busy junctions, cleared blocked drains, and even helped elderly residents dispose of waste.

Christians have been urged to demonstrate a living faith in Jesus Christ by allowing their confession of Him as Lord and Saviour to reflect in their daily lives.
According to the Kaneshie District Pastor of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana (EPCG), Rev. Dzidzor Nathaniel Affram, a genuine Christian’s confession should go beyond words and be demonstrated through obedience to God, love for others and service to the Church.
He made the call at the 40th anniversary remembrance service for the late Wesley Kwasi Kwadzo at the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana, Maranatha Congregation at Awudome Avenui in the Volta Region.
Speaking on the theme, “The Church Built on a Living Confession,” Rev. Affram said life would continually present challenges capable of testing Christians’ faith, making it necessary for believers to hold firmly to their confession that Jesus Christ is Lord.
He explained that accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour required Christians to live according to His teachings, stressing that their faith must be evident in their conduct.
“A living confession listens to God and not man,” he said, urging Christians to remain obedient to God even when faced with difficulties and pressures.
Rev. Affram further encouraged the congregation to care for vulnerable people and demonstrate concern for others, adding that such acts were practical expressions of Christian faith.
He also urged Christians to identify and use their God-given gifts to build the Church.
He said every member of the Church had a role to play and cautioned Christians against looking down on others because of their status or abilities.
The remembrance service brought together family members, friends, members of the congregation and sympathisers to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the late Wesley Kwasi Kwadzo.
