The Minister of Local Government, Chieftaincy, and Religious Affairs (MLGCRA), Ahmed Ibrahim has hailed Zoomlion Ghana Limited for the unparalleled sanitation infrastructure in West Africa amidst a strategic collaboration to tackle Ghana's waste management crisis, particularly plastic.
The minister speaking to the media in Accra, underscored the indispensability of Zoomlion's cutting-edge facilities, which positioned Ghana as a regional leader in sustainable waste solutions. "The kind of sanitation infrastructure that Zoomlion has invested - both in municipal solid, liquid waste and robustness of the recycling waste management plants is so unparalleled," he noted.
Ahmed commended Zoomlion for its nationwide network of modern recycling plants, faecal waste management systems, and sewage-to-resource technologies, which converted waste into compost and charcoal.
These facilities, he noted, aligned with Ghana's 2016 ban on ocean dumping of faecal waste, a policy enacted under former President John Dramani Mahama that halted hazardous coastal pollution. "Before Zoomlion, faecal waste flowed freely into the sea that caused diseases such as cholera.
