Award-winning young Ghanaian poet, Nakeeyat Dramani has been named Ambassador for CorpNation Foundation’s 4R+ Initiative.

4R+ Initiative is a solid waste management initiative that promotes the reduction of waste generation and encourages recycling, reusing and recovery of waste.

The initiative aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) number 13.

Speaking to Thespectatoronline.com, during the unveiling ceremony held at the La Palm Royal Beach Hotel, the Chief Executive Officer(CEO) of 4R+ Initiative, Saviour Adzika said all of these are tied to a sustainability element to ensure a safer society.

He said as part of the component of the project, there would be tree planting, student clubs, environmental quizes and award schemes to ensure people are interested in things regarding the environment.

According to him, it has taken his outfit, CorpNation Foundation four years since they rolled out this initiative in Takoradi.

Introducing the Ambassador for the initiative, Nana Kwesi Coomson, Public Relations Manager, said Nakeeyat represents the future.

Mr. Coomson noted that the reason for settling on Nakeeyat was that the project goes beyond the present generation, adding that it was to ensure the younger ones are exposed to the dangers of poor waste management.

Nakeeyat on her part expressed her appreciation for the acknowledgement of CorpNation and called on all and sundry to get involved in the initiative.

She charged Ghanaians to be activists for the protection of the environment which would go a long way to save lives.

According to her, it has become a global concern over the years with a significant impact on lives and properties.
