Ms Osei-Duah was addressing the chiefs and people and other relevant stakeholders in the waste and sanitation industry at Wa in the Upper West Region during the dialogue series of that region’s turn of the Zoomlion and Graphic Communications Group’s sanitation awareness campaign dubbed “Make Ghana Clean”.
Earlier on Thursday, Mr. Mohammed Mahama Adams who is a Senior Communications Officer of Zoomlion told participants at a similar dialogue forum in the Savannah Regional Capital Damango that a solid waste treatment plant attached to each of the IRECOP is envisioned by Zoomlion.
