Local Government Minister projects completion of IRECOP waste evacuation in two months

Local Government Minister Mahama Ayariga has stated that the emergency waste evacuation undertaking at the IRECOP site could be finalized within the next one to two months. During a site inspection on October 16, 2026, he noted a substantial decrease in waste accumulation, with some areas nearing completion. Ayariga praised the dedication of the operators, drivers, supervisors, and district coordinators involved in the National Emergency Waste Evacuation Exercise.

The subsequent phase will concentrate on restoring the land and clearing the adjacent river to restore proper water flow. He urged corporate entities and private organizations to support the project, particularly the dredging operations, which demand significant financial and logistical resources. This evacuation initiative is part of the government's strategy to eliminate waste and enhance environmental sanitation at the site.
