Zoomlion Backs Mahama’s National Clean-Up Exercise in Flood-Hit Areas

Waste management company Zoomlion Ghana Limited has pledged its full support for President John Dramani Mahama’s National General Cleaning Exercise, mobilising personnel and equipment across the country to help restore flood-affected communities and improve environmental sanitation.

The nationwide exercise, scheduled for Friday, July 10, and Saturday, July 11, 2026, follows the devastating floods that recently displaced residents and caused extensive damage in several parts of Ghana.

In a statement issued by its Communications and Corporate Affairs Directorate, Zoomlion described the President’s directive as a bold, timely and decisive intervention that demonstrates government’s commitment to protecting lives, safeguarding public health and preventing further environmental hazards.

Nationwide Deployment

The company announced that it has activated its nationwide operational network in partnership with the Ministry of Local Government, Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs to support Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs) and affected communities throughout the two-day exercise.

According to Zoomlion, its regional, district and municipal offices, together with a large fleet of sanitation equipment and trained personnel, will be deployed to ensure an effective clean-up operation.

Scope of Operations

As part of its support, Zoomlion will undertake several sanitation activities, including:

• Deployment of sanitation personnel for coordinated clean-up operations.
• Provision of waste collection trucks, skip containers, compactors and heavy-duty equipment.
• Evacuation and environmentally safe disposal of waste and silt.
• Desilting of drains and waterways to reduce the risk of future flooding.
• Sweeping and cleaning of roads, markets, lorry parks and other public places.
• Disinfection and sanitisation of flood-affected communities.
• Technical and operational support for MMDAs and other stakeholders.

Support Beyond the Exercise

Zoomlion said its intervention will not end after the two-day national exercise. The company assured government and residents that it will continue working with local authorities wherever necessary until affected communities are restored to safe and healthy conditions.

The company noted that the recent floods underscore the urgent need for sustained environmental sanitation and responsible waste management, stressing that maintaining a clean environment requires the collective efforts of government institutions, private sector organisations, traditional authorities, civil society groups and the general public.

Call for Public Participation

Zoomlion has urged residents, businesses, institutions and community leaders to actively participate in the National General Cleaning Exercise to help restore communities and reduce future flood risks.

The company reaffirmed its commitment to delivering innovative and sustainable environmental sanitation solutions that protect public health, preserve the environment and support Ghana’s national development agenda.

The statement concluded with a call for national unity and action under the campaign slogan:

“Clean Ghana. Save Lives.”
