The Tema Metropolitan Assembly (TMA), in collaboration with the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC) and other corporate bodies, has launched the \u201cEco in Motion\u201d campaign, a GNPC & Partners initiative to green and clean the metropolis.<\/p>\n
The programme began with a symbolic exercise to clean the backyards of participating institutions, signaling the start of a broader plan to restore Tema\u2019s environment.<\/p>\n
Speaking at the launch, Eunice Akosua Ofori, Principal Officer, Corporate Affairs at GNPC, said the campaign is designed as a long-term project and not a one-off event.<\/p>\n
> \u201cWe are starting from our own backyard. This is just the beginning. The vision is to extend the exercise beyond the Meridian Enclave to cover the entire metropolis,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Ms. Ofori explained that the campaign is aligned with the Mayor of Tema\u2019s vision to reset the city into a cleaner, greener and more sustainable industrial hub.<\/p>\n
> \u201cWe recognize that this is a huge task. It involves not just clearing rubbish but securing the environment so that we do not have to keep coming back to clean. That is why we are involving other businesses and institutions to make it sustainable,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
The programme will gradually be rolled out to communities such as Bankuman and the coastal areas, with activities expected to combine sanitation with recreational events to promote community ownership.<\/p>\n
The Mayor of Tema, Hon. Ebi Bright, welcomed the initiative, noting that it fits squarely into her agenda of resetting Tema to its original plan as a modern and well-structured city.<\/p>\n
> \u201cTema was designed as Ghana\u2019s model city, and it is our collective duty to maintain that vision. Eco in Motion is exactly the kind of partnership we need\u2014where corporate Ghana joins hands with the Assembly and the people to create a cleaner, greener metropolis,\u201d<\/p>\n
The \u201cEco in Motion\u201d drive is expected to run throughout the year, with its scale dependent on resources and support from partner organisations.<\/p>\n
> \u201cOur aim is not simply to clean today and come back tomorrow to start again,\u201d Ms. Ofori emphasized. \u201cIt is to create a clean and green Tema that generations will be proud of.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
