The Centre for Environmental Protection and Natural Resource (CEPNR), an environmental, non-governmental organisation (NGO), at the weekend teamed up with ace Musician and Dancer Slim Buster to create environmental awareness at Agege Shiabu, a suburb of Accra.The exercise, which was in response to the National Sanitation campaign launched by President John Dramani Mahama last month, attracted Ms Victoria Hamah, National Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate for Ablekuma West and her supporters in an area noted for outbreak of communicable diseases due to poor sanitary problems.CEPNR sponsored the fumigation of drains and open spaces in the predominantly fishing community.Mr Buster who described himself as an “Ambassador of the Environment” told the Ghana News Agency that for more than 15 years he had engaged the attention of the public about the health dangers in living in insanitary surroundings.He said he took up the challenge because he noticed that communities like Bukom, Chorkor, Akoto Lante and Nii Boye Town where most of his dancers live are not well kept, which could have adverse effect on residents.
