In the early hours of Saturday, 26th June, 2021, Jerry John Rawlings Foundation, planted trees at Achimota School, to commemorate the birthday of the late Former President J. J Rawlings.
The foundation indicated that this exercise was inspired by the Green Ghana initiative and the former president’s love for the environment. I commended the foundation and its Director, Miss Yaa Asantewaa Rawlings, for their exemplary commitment to contibute to the national crusade to green our society. I also pledged the support of Government and the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources to this undertaking of the foundation.
I stated categorically, that the beauty of any country is not defined by its skyscrapers or physical infrastructure but by its vegetation, waterbodies and landscape. Thus, government’s quest to protect our waterbodies, beautify our landscape and green our country is total.
The responsibility to protect our environment, preserve our natural ecosystem and thereby bequeath a more sustainable Ghana to future generations is a collective one. All hands must be on deck.
