President John Dramani Mahama has expressed concern over a video by the Buzstop Boys showing fish being dried under what he described as unhygienic conditions at Tema Newtown.

The President said the footage, which highlighted the sanitation situation in the fishing community, exposed the poor environmental conditions surrounding the processing of fish meant for public consumption.

Speaking at the Ringway Gospel Centre Assemblies of God, President Mahama said the situation required urgent attention to ensure food safety and protect public health.

He said the video underscored the need for improved sanitation practices and better management of areas where food products are processed before reaching consumers.

President Mahama also praised the Buzstop Boys for their environmental advocacy efforts and for using their platforms to highlight sanitation challenges across the country.

He further urged Ghanaians to take personal responsibility for maintaining clean surroundings, warning that improper disposal of waste, including sachet water wrappers, Styrofoam containers and food packaging, contributes to blocked drains and flooding.
