Accra on course to becoming cleanest city
Summary short_text
Despite missing out on the initial target of making Accra the cleanest city in Africa within four years, the Minister-designate for Sanitation and Waters Resources, Cecilia Dapaah, says the Akufo-Addo administration is still on course to fulfilling this promise. "Accra is on course to become the cleanest city that the President said in absolute terms. I think we are on course looking at what we started doing and what I continued from my colleague," the nominee said during her vetting on Tuesday. In remarks back in August 2020, Mrs. Dapaah, who was the Sanitation and Waters Resources minister, said the government had attained the goal to make Accra the cleanest City during the lockdown necessitated by the coronavirus pandemic.
