Sanitation Day for April.

Today, a very vigorous sanitation exercise was carried out across the Asante Akim North Municipality as part of ongoing efforts to promote environmental cleanliness and public health. The exercise was attended by the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), the Municipal Coordinating Director (MCD), personnel from the various security services, staff of the Assembly, students, and the general public of the Asante Akim North Municipal Assembly (AANMA).

The exercise began in the early hours of the day, with participants deployed to key locations within the municipality, including principal streets, markets, lorry stations, and other public spaces. Activities undertaken included sweeping, collection and disposal of solid waste, desilting of choked drains, clearing of weeds, and removal of refuse from unauthorized dumping sites. These efforts were aimed at improving sanitation, preventing flooding, and reducing the risk of sanitation-related diseases.

There was strong collaboration and coordination among stakeholders, with security personnel ensuring order and safety, while Assembly staff provided supervision and guidance throughout the exercise. Students and community members also demonstrated a high level of enthusiasm and commitment, contributing significantly to the success of the exercise.

The sanitation exercise was highly successful, resulting in a visibly cleaner environment and renewed awareness among residents on the importance of maintaining good sanitation practices. The Municipal authorities used the opportunity to educate the public on proper waste disposal methods and the need to sustain regular clean-up activities.

The Municipal Chief Executive commended all participants for their dedication and encouraged the public to make sanitation a continuous responsibility rather than a periodic activity. The exercise underscores the Assembly’s commitment to creating a clean, safe, and healthy environment for all residents within the municipality.
