St. John Bosco’s College of Education in the Kassena-Nankana Municipality has launched a comprehensive Sanitation Day Campaign aimed at fostering a culture of cleanliness and environmental responsibility amongst its students and staff.
The initiative, officially kicked off on Saturday, March 22nd, 2025, aims to instill discipline and promote a hygienic environment both within the college and beyond.
According to the Acting Principal, Dr. Nyaaba Rudolf, the campaign has four key objectives:
- Instilling a sense of responsibility in maintaining cleanliness.
- Reducing waste accumulation and promoting proper waste management.
- Raising awareness about sanitation and its impact on health and well-being.
- Setting an example for surrounding communities, reinforcing the belief that a clean environment fosters a healthier and more productive society.
“Let’s create a community that is environmentally responsible,” urged Dr. Nyaaba, calling on all stakeholders to actively participate in the initiative.

The Guest speaker, Benjamin Anyanah, CEO of BC Bencyn Group, emphasized the importance of individual responsibility and a shift in mindset towards sanitation and waste management.
He challenged the students to embrace their role in preserving the environment.
“Damaging the environment is caused by you and me, and we have the power to change that,” Anyanah stated.
He also encouraged the college to make Sanitation Day a regular event and explore innovative recycling programs for plastic waste.
“Picking plastic is not a one-time event. It is worth making the necessary sacrifices to eliminate it by turning plastic waste into something beneficial for society,” he emphasized.
The launch included a campus-wide clean-up exercise by staff and students, symbolizing the community’s commitment to environmental conservation.
