Bolgatanga Municipal Manager for Zoomlion Ghana, Kojo Njabore has called for attitudinal change in the quest to fight unsanitary conditions in the Bolgatanga Municipality and the country.
He made this call when Zoomlion Ghana as part of its monthly duties, cleaned up the Ministries and Departmental offices in Bolgatanga.
According to him, only when the Ghanaian changes his/her attitude on issues relating to Sanitation is when the fight for a clean environment will be won.
“One challenge if surmounted will help in the fight against unsanitary conditions is the attitude of the people. If there is attitudinal change, people will see the need not to litter their immediate environment and also clean it up intermittently. Until then, the fight for a clean Ghana cannot be won.”
Mr. Njabore underscored the need for Ghanaians to discard the perception that the fight for a clean Ghana rests on the shoulders of Zoomlion Ghana but rather called for a concerted effort at ensuring a the fight for a clean Ghana is won.
“Most Ghanaians think that the fight for a clean Ghana is only the work of Zoomlion but that should not be the case. We should know that only one waste management company cannot win the fight for a clean Ghana. It needs a concerted effort of all of us to win the battle. It is imperative that we come together as a people to move the country forward by ensuring a waste-free Ghana.”
He used the opportunity to appeal to Heads of Departments, Institutions, Chiefs and elders and other stakeholders to make the prioritise the fight for a clean Ghana and infuse it into all their activities not only to help keep their clean but also fight against sanitation related diseases.
On the exercise, workers of Zoomlion swept and cleared the bushes at the backyard of all Government institutions in what is called Ministries in the Upper East regional capital, Bolgatanga.
