According to Mrs Opoku-Anti, the visit was to formally congratulate King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II on his enstoolment and further discuss areas for collaboration.
She said the chieftaincy institution was a very important stakeholder in the fight against bad environmental practices within communities and the country as a whole.
She, therefore, appealed to traditional leaders to use their influence to help keep their environs clean.
She also used the opportunity to explain to the Ga Mantse and his elders her company’s 1 Million Bin initiative.
She said having bins in our homes will help reduce the incidence of indiscriminate dumping.
“…equally it will curb the spread of communicable diseases such as malaria, diarrhoea, and cholera just to maintain a few,” she added.
She said the project will promote eco-tourism and generate employment as well as revenue for the nation.
Mrs Opoku-Anti called on the Ga State to maintain the peace in the national capital, especially when in a few weeks’ time, Gas will be celebrating the annual Homowo festival.
As part of the visit, the company presented items including waste bins, water and assorted drinks and an amount of GHC20,000 to the Ga Mantse.
On his part, the Ga Mantse, King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, expressed appreciation to the Executive Chairman of the Jospong Group of Companies, Dr Joseph Siaw Agyepong, and management of Zoomlion for the gesture.
He applauded the company for its various projects embarked upon nationwide.
He assured the company of his support in the promotion of the 1 Million Bin initiative, and appealed to all stakeholders to be part of the project.
