NCCE partners Sunyani Municipal Assembly to promote environmental cleanliness

The Sunyani Municipal Assembly at the weekend held a massive clean-up exercise to improve environmental sanitation and waste management in the Municipality.
In line with its activities to commemorate the 2025 Constitution Week, the Sunyani Municipal Office of the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE) partnered the Assembly to organise the exercise.
The Sunyani Central Business District enclave was the centre of attraction as traditional authorities, security agencies, traders and the members of the public joined the clean-up exercise, which lasted for about five hours.
They cleared choked gutters, picked plastic containers, and swept dirty surroundings in the enclave.
Shop and store owners as well as major business entities were not allowed to open their businesses between 0600 hours and 1000 hours.
In an interview with the Ghana News Agency Mr Benjamin Kyere, the Sunyani Municipal Director of the NCCE said environmental cleanliness remained essential for good health.
He said promoting environmental cleanliness was essential to stem the outbreak of communicable diseases and thereby improving the health status of the people.
Mr Kyere urged the people to be responsive and avoid littering around, plant trees and help conserve water bodies and protect the environment from degradation and pollution.
