Youth Group Cleans up at Arts Centre
Accra, Nov. 28, Ghanadot/GNA- The Arts Centre Branch of the Constituency
Action Youth has organized a cleaning exercise at the Arts
Centre to help rid the place of filth and diseases.
About 200 members of the association undertook the exercise,
which was supported by the Accra Metropolitan, Zoomlion Ghana,
and the Greater Accra Regional Coordinating Council.
Mr. Anthony Brenya, who is the Secretary of the Association,
expressed his disappointment at the fast rate at which filth was
engulfing the Centre and urged the stakeholders to put a stop to
it.
He appealed to them to keep the centre neat to maintain their
health and the image of the nation because of the high number of
tourists, mainly foreigners, who patronise the place on daily
basis.
Mr. Brenya called on the local government to provide the centre
with enough containers for the collection of rubbish and to stop
the indiscriminate defecation and the rearing of animals, which
mostly fed on the refuse dumps at the centre.
Mr. Henry Asomah, Deputy Director of the Greater Accra Regional
Coordinating
Council, praised the youth for the initiative and promised them
the assistance of the Council. NSOC 07
