During a tour of two of the sites, a Deputy Minister of Sanitation and Water Resources, Michael Dzato, said the evacuation enforces government’s commitment to make Accra the cleanest city in Africa in the shortest possible time.

Previously, the stench from the numerous heaps of refuse, with a swarm of all kinds of insects, was a bother to traders and passersby alike.

The dump site, which is approximately the size of twelve football pitches, also use to have a thick cloud of smoke and toxic fumes hanging over it.

These according to residents made breathing very difficult. Traders used to complain about their stalls being filled with liquid waste that gushed out from the refuse.

The evacuation project is one of the six government is carrying out within the Greater Accra Region.  The project is over fifty percent complete, And will be handed over to government by the end of October.

Mr. Dzato, who was impressed with the progress of work done, warned waste management companies to desist from dumping waste at the site.

The Black Stars skipper stated that, football game itself is spiritual in nature and seeking prayers from Mallam and Pastors is the right path for success.

Gyan indicated that, the public has demonized the use of ‘Mallams’ in sports.

He added that football is a ‘spiritual work’.

He noted that ‘Mallams’ are just like pastors, and that in the Islamic religion, there was nothing wrong with consulting them to pray for an individual.

“You can’t just rise up and say you’re going to play football because it is a spiritual exercise,”Gyan told Delay.

“People have just used the word Mallam to mean something out of this world. Just as pastors lead Christians in prayers, Mallams lead Muslims in prayer. So there si nothing wrong in them praying for you to get success in your career or any endeavor in your life.”

“You will need spiritual fortitude before you get into play and it’s not just for football but every other work.”

He admitted that he has a spiritual father who fortifies and prays for him before he sets off to play a football game.

There have been continuous debates about whether or not African sportsmen use voodoo to ply their trade, but Gyan says praying with an Islamic cleric or a Pastor should not be demonized.
