Ghana: Students Must Clean Schools Every Friday - DCE

In a bid to sustain the National Sanitation campaign, the District Chief Executive (DCE) for Karaga, Imoro Yakubu, has called on the government to make it compulsory for all educational institutions across Ghana to come out with their students to clean up their surroundings after close of school every Friday.
This, according to the new DCE, would turn the students into “sanitation ambassadors”, who would lead their households and communities to keep good sanitary environments at all times.

The DCE, who is already implementing this idea in the Karaga District, has distributed about 300 litter bins, hand gloves, rakes and wheelbarrows to the heads of schools, and directed them, as well as all heads of departments, agencies and other individual (private) organisations within the district, to tidy up their environments after close of work every Friday, in order to develop the habit of keeping clean environments at all times.
