The Oforikrom Municipality is taking steps to address climate change and promote sustainable development by converting areas previously cleared in a decongestion exercise into green spaces for beautification. This move is aimed at improving the overall aesthetic appeal of the municipality and enhancing its environmental quality.
The Municipal Chief Executive, Abraham Kwame Antwi, has revealed that previous cleanup exercises resulted in the invasion of rodents and filth in the trading spaces of hawkers. This underscores the urgent need for a sustainable approach to maintaining cleanliness and hygiene in the municipality.
To further promote environmental sustainability, the Member of Parliament for Oforikrom is mobilising communities to take action on climate change. This involves creating awareness about the impact of climate change on the local environment and encouraging individuals and businesses to adopt sustainable practices.
The beautification of the Garden City ahead of the joint celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Asantehene on his ascension to the Golden Stool and the centenary anniversary of Asantehene Agyeman Prempeh I on his return from exile from Seychelles Island presents an opportunity to showcase the municipality’s commitment to environmental sustainability and sustainable development.
In conclusion, the Oforikrom Municipality is taking positive steps towards promoting environmental sustainability and enhancing the quality of life of its residents. The conversion of cleared areas into green spaces for beautification and the mobilisation of communities to take action on climate change are important initiatives that will contribute to a sustainable future for the municipality.
