VRA to Institutionalise Clean-Up Exercises Nationwide After Successful Sanitation Campaign

The Volta River Authority (VRA) says it will institutionalise regular clean-up exercises across all its operational areas after participating in the nationwide sanitation campaign aimed at promoting a cleaner, healthier Ghana.

VRA Chief Executive, Engineer Edward E. Obeng-Kenzo, joined staff at various work locations during the National Clean-Up Exercise, reaffirming the Authority’s commitment to environmental sustainability and community well-being.

Addressing staff after the exercise, Mr. Obeng-Kenzo praised their dedication and patriotic spirit, describing their active involvement as a clear demonstration of VRA’s unwavering commitment to environmental stewardship.

He announced that the clean-up exercise will now be a permanent feature across all VRA operational sites, ensuring sanitation and environmental protection become embedded in the Authority’s corporate culture and daily operations.

Mr. Obeng-Kenzo also commended President John Dramani Mahama for reintroducing the National Clean-Up Exercise, calling it a timely intervention that will strengthen environmental sanitation, improve public health, and revive civic responsibility among Ghanaians.

The nationwide exercise forms part of broader efforts to encourage public institutions, private organisations, and citizens to support the government’s sanitation agenda by maintaining clean surroundings and protecting the environment.

The VRA boss urged Ghanaians to embrace the shared responsibility of environmental conservation, stressing that sustainable sanitation practices are essential for building healthier communities and safeguarding the country’s natural resources for future generations.

The Authority reiterated that collective action remains key to achieving a cleaner, greener, and more environmentally resilient Ghana.
