Adidome: Mr Guggisberg Fiagbenu, Assembly Member for the Adidome Central Electoral Area, has reaffirmed his commitment to improving sanitation within the community, stressing the need for collective action to promote a cleaner and healthier environment.
According to Ghana News Agency, Mr Fiagbenu emphasized the importance of good sanitation for community well-being and development. He urged residents to actively participate in periodic clean-up exercises to reduce filth and prevent disease outbreaks.
Mr Fiagbenu commended the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) for their involvement, noting their participation as an example of strong community partnership in promoting environmental health. He announced an upcoming exercise, 'Operation Clean Your Environment,' scheduled for Wednesday, September 3, 2025. He encouraged households, traders, institutions, and transport operators in Adidome to make the initiative successful.
"Sanitation is a shared responsibility. If we all play our part by keeping our surroundings clean, Adidome will remain a healthy and attractive place for everyone," Mr Fiagbenu stated. He urged residents to maintain cleanliness beyond organized clean-up days by adopting proper waste disposal practices, regularly desilting drains, and ensuring their premises remain tidy.
The Assembly Member assured the public of his continuous advocacy and collaboration with stakeholders to transform Adidome into a model town for environmental cleanliness within the Central Tongu District. He also called on landlords to maintain undeveloped lands to prevent them from becoming sites of open defecation, which can serve as breeding grounds for mosquitoes and snakes.
