The Local Government minister, Alhaji Collins Dauda has expressed satisfaction at this month National sanitation day held in the Upper East region but reiterated that municipal and district chief executives must institute measures to deal with plastic waste.<\/p>\n
Every first Saturday of every month is set aside as national sanitation day during which all Ghanaians are expected to undertake clean up exercises at their various localities to keep their environs clean.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n At this month National sanitation day held in the Upper East region and led by Local Government minister, \u00a0Mr. Alhaji Collins Dauda saw a massive turn-out of people who took to the municipal streets of Bolga, market centers’, the Midwifery and the Nurses training schools’ to clean the environs and also distilled chock gutters in the Bolga municipality.<\/p>\n Mr. Dauda remarked that even before his team got into the old Bolga market to clean, the place was already cleaned.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n “On the whole the turn-out has been good, the exercise has been fantastic and unlike in Accra where you have chock gutters, stilled gutters, Bolga is different and is because of the environment.\u00a0But there is also something here that you don’t find in other places, they are there but \u00a0they are not as much as we find here in Bolga and that is the issue of plastics bags and plastic materials.\u00a0You will find plastic materials everywhere and I think that we have to collaborate with the municipal assembly to see whether we cannot find a solution to this problem in Bolgatanga.\u00a0I know is not peculiar to Bolgatanga, it may be an issue for the northern part of Ghana and that there must be a solution to this problem,” Alhaji Dauda stressed.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n He added that though suggestions have been made in dealing with plastic waste management in Bolga, further deliberations will be carried out at the national level to prescribe the best solution to address plastic waste in the upper east region.<\/p>\n
