Ten years after the tragic June 3 disaster that shook Accra and claimed more than 150 lives, Kwame Nkrumah Circle is set to become the focal point of a national clean-up and reflection campaign.
The event, scheduled for Saturday, June 14, 2025, is expected to bring together hundreds of volunteers, national institutions, and public figures in what is being described as a city-wide mobilisation for sanitation, healing, and awareness.
While the clean-up is the central activity, the day will also feature medical outreach, donations to disaster survivors, interfaith prayers, and education on disaster preparedness.
Planning for the event is already underway, with organisers currently in talks with a range of stakeholders—from the National Chief Imam, the Inspector General of Police, and Members of Parliament, to traditional rulers, market leaders, celebrities, and digital influencers. Their support, according to organisers, is key to creating a strong nationwide presence.
Security and emergency services, including the Ghana National Fire Service, Ghana Ambulance Service, NADMO, National Security Council Secretariat, and Zoomlion, have also been engaged to ensure the operation is safe, effective, and impactful.
The effort is being spearheaded by Let Love Lead, an NGO known for previous clean-up campaigns in Spintex in 2023 and 2024. Those exercises attracted media coverage and praise for their community-driven approach.
This year’s decision to centre the activity at Nkrumah Circle is more than symbolic. For many, it’s a national call to action—linking past tragedy to present responsibility.
“This goes beyond sanitation,” said Nene Lartey Osakonor I (popularly known as Big Dawood), who is leading coordination efforts. “It’s about memory, unity, and a renewed commitment to prevent such disasters in the future.”
As preparations continue, organisers are urging citizens and institutions alike to take part—not just with gloves and brooms, but with purpose.
