The CEO of One-On-One Foundation Mr. Emmanuel Olla Williams has visited various beaches in Accra ahead of the 2020 edition of the Tug of War dubbed ‘Coastal Strength Challenge’ to see the current state of the tourist attraction and source of fish for Ghanaians.
He told Yours Truly the situation at the beaches was very bad and something had to be done.
He hinted that this year’s ‘Strength Challenge’ is going to be for education on sanitation at the beaches and maintenance culture on the beaches.
“We are going to organize clean up competitions at the beaches in the communities and we shall award marks to contestants before the main event” he expressed.
According to him, the Ministry of Sanitation and Water Resources and Coastal Development Authority (CODA) have promised to support the initiative which will be under the theme – Gathering Strength to totally eliminate open defecation along the beaches.
He thanked the minister of Sanitation and director of CODA for their support, and appealed to corporate Ghana to support his initiatives.
He said the programme will take place in Dansoman, Chorkor/ Korle Gonno, La/Osu, Teshie/Nungua, Tema and James Town.
