On Friday, August 2, 2024, the Golfe 7 commune launched a vast clean-up operation in Sagbado, Lomé, dubbed "Operation Tangas" to combat the insalubrity that plagues certain neighborhoods.
The aim of this initiative is to improve people's living conditions and prevent diseases linked to an unhealthy environment.
A strong commitment from local authorities
The local authorities, in collaboration with the local population, are mobilized to carry out this operation. Agents from the technical services of the Golfe 7 commune, led by Mayor Aimé Koffi DJIKOUNOU , have criss-crossed the various districts of the commune to raise awareness among holders and shopkeepers of the importance and necessity of collecting the garbage that litters the roads and streets and is dumped in the gutters.
The objectives of the "Tangas" operation
Improving hygiene and sanitation: By reducing the amount of waste and ensuring cleanliness, the operation aims to improve sanitary conditions and prevent the spread of disease.
Raising public awareness : The operation is also an opportunity to raise awareness of the importance of keeping the environment clean and adopting responsible waste management behavior.
Mayor DJIKOUNOU warned that offenders would be fined in accordance with current regulations.
Enhancing the living environment: A clean and healthy environment helps to improve people's quality of life and enhance the image of the commune.
A call to responsibility
The success of the "Tangas" operation depends on everyone's commitment. The authorities are calling on the population to cooperate by not throwing garbage anywhere, by taking part in clean-up operations and by denouncing uncivil behavior.
Through this operation, the mayor and his team aim to change attitudes and restore the commune's beauty.
Future prospects
This operation marks a new stage in the fight against insalubrity in the Golfe 7 commune. The local authorities plan to make these actions permanent by setting up monitoring and control mechanisms, as well as by raising public awareness.
