The Presidential Clean City Initiative has been officially launched in Voinjama City, Lofa County.
The exercise marks a significant step to improve sanitation, promote public health, and create employment opportunities for young people.
The launch was followed by an orientation exercise for approximately 100 selected participants, who ‘successfully passed’ the vetting process.
During the orientation, the participants were briefed on their roles, responsibilities, and the code of conduct expected of them as they begin sanitation activities in the city.
Participants were also instructed to coordinate with community leaders before entering any community to carry out their assigned duties.
Officials emphasized how community engagement, respect for local authorities, and peaceful cooperation were essential to the successful implementation of the initiative.
Voinjama City Mayor Pendorah C. W. Zaizay, urged the selected young men, and women to conduct themselves peacefully, and responsibly as they carry out their sanitation duties.
Madam Zaizay reminded participants of their roles as ambassadors of Voinjama City, saying that their behavior, and commitment will play a critical role in determining how the public receives, and supports the initiative.
She expressed appreciation to President Joseph Nyuma Boakai for creating employment opportunities for young people via the program.
