Mass disinfection exercise of schools in Western Region nears completion

Zoomlion Ghana Limited is almost done with the disinfection of schools in the Western Region.

“We are poised in ensuring that this exercise is executed to the later, so that by the time the students come in, the entire area will be disinfected for them to start academic work” he added.

Alhaji Abdallah disclosed that the company has sub-contracted components of the work to some organisations so they can level up resources to meet their schedule.

“They’re doing well. We will continued to monitor them as the failure of which will affect us. So we are on them to ensure they do a very good job for us” he added.
