Jospong praises Nana Addo for prioritizing ‘Clean Accra’ agenda

Executive Chairman of the Jospong Group of Companies (JGC), Dr. Joseph Siaw Agyepong, has commended President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for making it a priority to ensure Accra becomes cleanest city in Africa in his term.

Dr. Agyepong made this commendation while addressing thousands of leaders of the Jospong Group of Companies and key invited dignitaries at the 2019 Jospong Leadership Conference at Gomoa-Fetteh in the Central Region.

He said he was convinced of the President’s commitment to the clean Ghana agenda following the establishment of the Ministry of Sanitation and Water Resources (MoS&WR) to shape up contemporary cutting edge policies to guide players in the industry.

He also noted the president’s visit to key sanitation facilities including the Accra Compost and Recycling Plant (ACARP) where the President  urged him to remain resolute, in spite of the  controversies, on his core mandate of ensuring a cleaner Ghana.

Mr. Agyepong then pointed to the statement made by the President in Parliament  indicating his commitment to this agenda.

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo had pledged to the Speaker and Members of Parliament and Ghanaians that in his first term he will ensure that Accra becomes the cleanest city in Africa.

“The commitment we are making and which I want you all to make with me is that by the time we end our four-year term, Accra is going to be the cleanest city in Africa,”

“We are in danger of destroying our blessed country. Ours is a beautiful country. If we claim to love our country, we must take care of the lands, the trees, the water bodies and the animals. They are part of what makes Ghana”.

He further commended Vice President Dr. Bawumia for the encouragement and support.

“In fact, each time the words of encouragement by H.E Nana Akufo-Addo and Dr. Bawumia echoes together with that of Asantehene Nana Otumfuor Osei Tutu and Okyehene, Osagyefo Amoatia Ofori-Panyin and Former President J.J Rawlings my spirit is rekindled to even do better and I will not disappoint my country, Mr. Agyepong said.

He said they are statesmen and elders of our country who continuously guide and encourage him to work harder for mother Ghana.

He also expressed gratitude to the Ministers of Local Government and Rural Development, Hajia Alima Mahama, and  Minster of Sanitation and Water Resources, Cecilia Abena Dapaah for their fullest cooperation and support to ensure the sanitation agenda succeeds

“How can you fail when you have people at the top who believe you can do it?”

He also urged his executives to ensure that they perform even better in 2019.

He was also thankful to the Chairman of the Church of Pentecost Apostle Eric Kwabena Nyamekye and the Executive Council of that church for incorporating environmental care into their five-year development plan.

This year’s conference was dubbed “Transform to better perform”
