Zoomlion Ghana Limited has earned praises for its exceptional efforts in beautifying the Black Star Square and parts of Accra for the inauguration of the government of President John Dramani Mahama.
The event marked the beginning of President Mahama’s new term in office, following his swearing-in on Tuesday, January 7, 2025.
The company’s clean-up and beautification work has been lauded as “par excellence” by many who attended the event, including party faithful and citizens who watched from nearby.
In an interview with The Ghanaian Times on Wednesday, Ama Serwaa, a trader at the Kwame Nkrumah Interchange, commended the waste management company for clearing the filth that engulfed the interchange.
She urged the company to continue cleaning the city to attract more tourists.
Madam Serwaa, who deals in used shoes around Tip-Toe lane, near the interchange, noted that filth breeds mosquitoes and causes diseases like cholera and dysentery.
The trader advised Ghanaians to take responsibility by disposing off waste the right way.
To prepare the Black Star Square for the ceremony, Zoomlion deployed over 500 personnel to undertake a comprehensive clean-up and beautification exercise across major streets of Accra.
Workers of Zoomlion transformed the Black Star Square into a stunning oasis, boasting beautifully landscaped artificial turf that perfectly complemented the majestic architecture of the Ghanaian Parliament. The breathtaking result was truly a sight to behold!
The workers also cleaned Accra’s ceremonial streets, decorated traffic lights and trees with the national colours, weeded road medians, swept streets, desilted drains and painted the curbs.
The clean-up and beautification exercise ensured that Black Star Square and ceremonial streets of Accra were spotless and radiant for the historic inauguration ceremony.
Additionally, the company painted pavements and pedestrian walkways.
Zoomlion’s consistent contributions to Ghana’s cleanliness and environmental sustainability demonstrate its dedication to the country’s well-being.
President Mahama’s return to power is highly anticipated, with many Ghanaians hopeful that he will bring about positive change and development.
