Minister of Local Government, Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs Mahama Ayariga has called on private businesses to assist in the government's cleanup efforts at Agbogbloshie landfill and river dredging. The Chamber of Oil Marketing Companies (COMAC) and its members have recently provided fuel and financial support to aid the waste evacuation process.
Dr. Riverson Oppong, COMAC's CEO, presented the donations to Ayariga, which include 500 litres of diesel and other fuel consignments from various oil marketing companies. These contributions demonstrate the oil industry's commitment to the sanitation exercise, ensuring the efficient removal of waste from the site and surrounding areas.
Ayariga expressed satisfaction with the progress made, noting that waste volume at the site has reduced significantly. However, more support is needed, particularly in terms of fuel to operate the trucks and heavy equipment used in the evacuation.
