BuzStop Boys' cleanup exercise initiatives
The cleanup exercise at Okponglo on Monday, March 31, 2025, was organised by the BuzStop Boys in collaboration with Wode Maya as part of the Eid al-Fitr festival celebrations in Ghana.
Since bursting onto the scene over a year ago, the BuzStop Boys sanitation group have embarked on several cleanup exercises across the country. The group famously collaborated with celebrated actress and television host Nana Ama McBrown, who joined them in past clean-up exercises.
The award-winning actress previously participated in one of such exercises at North Kaneshie’s Swanlake area. Wearing protective gear, she worked with the team to remove waste from clogged gutters and also appealed to Ghanaians to maintain proper sanitation in their various communities to protect one another from certain illnesses.
The BuzStop Boys have also earned massive plaudits from notable Ghanaian personalities, including Lil Win, Shatta Wale and President John Dramani Mahama.
In June 2024, Shatta Wale visited the BuzStop Boys during their cleanup exercise at Alajo in the Greater Accra Region and surprised them with a cheque of GH₵30k.
President John Mahama also donated GH¢50,000 to support the BuzStop Boys' initiatives after the group paid a courtesy visit to the former's office last year.
