The gesture reportedly recognises the Buz Stop Boys' outstanding work over the years.
"We will support them, give them equipment and support them grow better. By next week, we will call them to give them the equipment," he said.
After making this pledge, one of the staff informed him that they had already engaged them twice, but added they still needed more support.
In March 2024, Zoomlion Ghana Limited, the leading waste management firm in the country, supported the Buz Stop Boys with both technical and logistical assistance.
The logistical support provided included a skip truck, shovels, tricycles (aboboya) as well as an additional staff member, who joined them to clean parts of Accra.
Who are the Buz Stop Boys?
The Buz Stop Boys are a sanitation voluntary group founded by Heneba Kojo Sarfo, with an initial membership of five people.
With time, the group's membership increased to 40, comprising young men and women from diverse professional backgrounds.
The group focuses on creating a cleaner and more welcoming environment for both residents and visitors.
With the help of a strong social media presence, leveraging platforms such as TikTok, X and Instagram, they grew to become a driving force for positive change, promoting sanitation across Ghana.
The Stop Boys have won several awards from both local and international organisations for their selfless act of service to Ghana.
