The Northern Region has taken a significant step forward in its sanitation drive following the presentation of waste management trucks by Zoomlion Ghana Limited to bolster environmental cleanliness and public health.
The Northern Regional Minister, Hon. Ali Adolf John Mburudiba, received the trucks on behalf of the chiefs and people of the region. The trucks will be allocated to various Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Assemblies (MMDAs) to strengthen their sanitation and waste disposal capacity.
Hon. Mburudiba expressed profound gratitude to Zoomlion for the timely intervention, assuring that the vehicles would be used responsibly and for their intended purpose.
“This support will go a long way to enhance our sanitation infrastructure and promote a cleaner, healthier Northern Region. We will ensure these trucks are well-maintained and effectively deployed,” the Minister affirmed.
Strengthening Local Waste Management
The initiative aligns with broader government efforts to address waste management challenges in the north and improve living standards across communities.
The Regional Minister urged the MMDAs to adopt sustainable maintenance practices and efficient operations to maximize the benefits of the new trucks.
“Sanitation is key to development. Clean environments foster better health and productivity,” he added.
Public-Private Collaboration for Development
The donation underscores Zoomlion’s ongoing commitment to supporting local governments in their efforts to improve sanitation. The partnership reflects a growing trend of private sector engagement in regional development across Ghana.
The Honourable Mburudiba commended the synergy between the government and private stakeholders, noting that such collaborations are vital for accelerating progress in sanitation and public health.
“It is through initiatives like this that we can collectively uplift our region and improve the quality of life for all residents,” he emphasized.
With this support, the Northern Region is poised to make measurable gains in sanitation, environmental protection, and public health outcomes, setting an example for sustainable waste management in other parts of the country.
