On behalf of HE, the President, Regional Coordinating Council and the good people of Greater Accra, I express my profound appreciation to all MMDCEs in the region for your unalloyed support and contributions to the 66th Independence Anniversary Regional Day Celebration.

Being the first of it's kind in the region it is imperative to note that without your collective involvement and the personal dedication of some MMDCEs who went above and beyond night and day to ensure the overall success of this year's celebrations, we wouldn't have chalked this feet.

Let me hasten to mention that your cooperation and participation has enabled us achieve Mr. President's dream of a cost-saving celebration.

It is my expectation that the Operation Clean Your Frontage enforcement drive will be sustained across the Tema Metropolis and adjoining Municipalities to maintain the improved sanitation condition.

Thank you.
