AMA honours 4 companies for beautifying Accra

At a brief ceremony held at the City Hall to officially put off Christmas lights in the city, the Metropolitan Chief Executive (MCE) of Accra, Mohammed Adjei Sowah, expressed his appreciation, stating that the contributions of these organisations had changed the perspectives of the AMA on how to beautify and make the city clean.
“Their consultancy advice and practical projects attest to the fact that we can do more and better things to make the city not just clean but beautiful. We believe that the President’s vision of making Accra the cleanest city is not just about the waste collection, but it is about ultimately making Accra beautiful. We knew that this journey and the task ahead could not be undertaken and accomplished alone, hence partnering these entities. We have come this far… and today we want to acknowledge their contributions,” he said.
He congratulated all the awardees for their support, and expressed the hope that the commitment to the Clean Accra and Beautification Project would continue.
