Some of Ghana’s biggest names in the entertainment industry on Saturday, July 11, 2026, as they joined thousands of Ghanaians in the second day of the nationwide clean-up exercise declared by President John Dramani Mahama following the recent devastating floods.
The campaign, held under the theme “Our Actions, Our Future: Cleaning Ghana After the Floods,” was introduced as part of government’s post-flood mitigation measures aimed at improving environmental sanitation, desilting choked drains and preventing further flooding ahead of the expected heavy rains.
Leading the charge from the creative arts sector was Chief Executive Officer of the Regal Film Festival and Awards (REFFA Awards), Selassie Ibrahim, who mobilised several stakeholders within Ghana’s movie industry to actively participate in the exercise.
Among the notable personalities who turned out were Executive Secretary of the National Film Authority, Kafui Danku-Pitcher; veteran actors Fred Amugi and Adjetey Anang, actress Roselyn Ngissah; actor, farmer and politician John Dumelo; and several other actors, actresses and filmmakers who dedicated their morning to cleaning public spaces. Award-winning actress Gloria Sarfo also joined the campaign.
Their presence attracted admiration from traders and residents, many of whom commended the entertainers for leading by example and using their public influence to promote civic responsibility.
The nationwide exercise followed President Mahama’s declaration of Friday, July 10, and Saturday, July 11, 2026, as National General Cleaning Days across the seven regions affected by the recent floods. The directive also called on ministers, Members of Parliament, Metropolitan, Municipal and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs), public institutions and citizens to actively participate in restoring sanitation in their communities.
The initiative forms part of recommendations by the Post-Flood Mitigation Committee, which seeks to improve sanitation by clearing drains, waterways and public spaces to reduce the risk of future flooding.
