Mayor of Accra Leads Demolishing Exercise to Improve City Sanitation

In a bid to make Accra cleaner and more orderly, Mayor Michael Kpakpo Allotey has personally overseen the removal of unauthorized structures along major streets and government-reserved lands across the city. The exercise is part of ongoing efforts to improve sanitation and ensure smoother movement for residents.

The cleanup targeted key areas including the Awudome Cemetery stretch, Awudome Roundabout, the fascia of the Royal House Chapel, North Kaneshie Last Stop, and the Tuesday Market.

While at the Tuesday Market, Mayor Allotey also checked on efforts to evacuate solid waste and desilt drains, making it easier for traders and shoppers to navigate the area. He encouraged residents to participate, saying, “The Assembly will conduct a comprehensive clean-up exercise during the upcoming National Sanitation Day activities, therefore all members around its environs should prepare towards it.”

The Mayor’s hands-on approach reflects the city’s commitment to better sanitation and creating a more organized environment for everyone in Accra.
