The Accra Metropolitan Assembly has announced its relentless decision to intensify the COVID-19 education among traders in the Accra Metropolis.
The Assembly has disclosed that while it has taken note of the non-compliance by some traders in the Metropolis, it is not discouraged by such actions. Rather, the situation emboldens them to do more in their education efforts.
Public Relations officer of the Assembly, Gilbert Ankrah, speaking to Samuel Eshun on the Happy Morning Show, stated: “Our focus now is to intensify education and to let people understand the importance of wearing nose mask. And we believe that will help us.”
He disclosed that already the Assembly is engaging with the leaders of the market in order to extend the education to their members through the Public Address (PA) systems in the markets.
Gilbert believes that while a change can only be effected through an individual’s decision to comply, the best they can do is to “compel” people to comply.
