The Christian Council of Ghana (CCG) has donated 800 environment books to Metro TV, in recognition of the station’s role in championing sanitation awareness among its viewers as the country marked today’s National Clean-Up exercise.
The presentation was made today, Friday, July 10, 2026, at the Christian Council’s head office, coinciding with the first of two days declared by government as National General Cleaning Days across regions affected by the recent floods, under the theme “Our Actions, Our Future: Cleaning Ghana after the Floods.”
Making the donation, the Council called on all media houses in the country to emulate the example set by Metro TV, urging broadcasters to dedicate more airtime and programming to sanitation and environmental advocacy in support of the national clean-up drive.
Metro TV, part of the Ignite Media Group (IMG), has built a reputation for consistent environmental and sanitation programming across its platforms. These include Tidy GH on Original TV, The Clean Report, Sanitation Watch on Good Morning Ghana (GMG), and Wahounidie Tse S3n on Original TV/FM — all of which have kept sanitation firmly on the public agenda and encouraged viewers to take personal responsibility for keeping their surroundings clean.
The Council’s gesture reflects its broader push to get religious and media institutions actively involved in environmental advocacy. In recent months, the CCG has repeatedly urged Ghanaians to treat cleanliness as a civic and spiritual duty, cautioning against indiscriminate waste disposal and building on waterways — practices it has linked to the choked drains and flooding that have plagued parts of the country, including the devastating floods of June 29 that claimed multiple lives and displaced thousands of households.
By handing over the books to Metro TV, the Council appears to be rewarding and reinforcing media efforts that align with its own sanitation and environmental stewardship messaging, extending its campaign beyond church congregations to the wider viewing public that platforms like Metro TV reach daily.
