The Rector of the Pentecost University College, Rev. Dr. Peter Ohene Kyei, has lauded the National Sanitation day programme describing it as a “wakeup call to all” Ghanaians to keep their environment clean.

Reverend Dr. Ohene Kyei advised that other than just mobilizing individuals to clean up the community occasionally, “we should rather educate our people and give them the right attitude to collect and dispose refuse properly.

He further noted that all institutions should be strengthened to be able to ensure that the environment is kept clean.

Pentecost University College as part of the commemoration, also organized a cleanup exercise around the Sowutoum, Santa Maria and Kwashieman environs, as part of activities to mark the school’s 10th anniversary.

Hundreds of students with their brooms, shovels, cutlasses, mowers and wheelbarrows visited the selected areas to rid them of filth.

Speaking to Citi News, the SRC President of the Pentecost University, Samuel Anobah, said “Sanitation is a big issue, so if community members see university students cleaning the environment, it will inspire them to do same”.

It’s been one year since the launch of the National Sanitation Day Campaign.

It was launched on 1st November, 2014 by President John Dramani Mahama.

As part of the 10th anniversary celebration of the Pentecost University College, the school has carried out other socially beneficial projects.
