As part of efforts to maintain cleanliness on the roads, the National Roads Authority (NRA), in collaboration with the Security Joint Operation Center (Immigration, Prisons, Fire and Rescue Services, and Drug Law Enforcement Agency) and a private company, PCS Hydrotech Cleaning Company, on Saturday, 16th November 2024, embarked on a cleaning exercise on the Bertil Harding Highway.
This is part of the NRA’s ongoing initiative to keep the newly constructed Bertil Harding Highway clean. This time PCS Hydrotech Cleaning company offered to join the operation as their corporate social responsibility to maintain and keep our assets clean.
The National Roads Authority (NRA) expressed growing concern about the behaviour of certain people dumping waste along the highway. This is unsightly, clogs drains and waterways, as well as poses health and safety concerns along the corridor.
Speaking after the cleaning exercise, Mr. Ousman Sanyang, the Managing Director of the National Roads Authority (NRA), appealed to the public to also contribute their quota in maintaining the cleanliness of the road.
“This is a precious national asset for which we should all take pride in keeping it clean,” Mr. Sanyang further said.
According to him, NRA aims to engage community participation in future cleaning exercises so that people take ownership of the asset, which would help immensely our efforts to keep our roads clean for the benefit of all users.
