SDO REINSTATE CLEAN UP CAMPAIGNS.

This move is contained in a circular addressed to traditional rulers, Ardos, quarter heads, religious leaders, youths and vigilante groups as well as the entire population. The circular that was signed on December 12th 2019, was handwritten, as a result of the more than six months blackout that this division has witnessed.
