    Mr Emmanuel Volsuuri, the regional General Manager for the company, disclosed that a total of 850 sprayers would be deployed to carry out the exercise simultaneously across all the Districts and Municipalities of the region.

    “We are prepared to do a good job and we will do it within the stipulated time”, Mr Volsuuri assured while requesting the full support of Directors of Education and the Municipal and District Chief Executives as they had done during the past exercises.

    He commended the company for its dedication and commitment to duty and pledged their support for the company to deliver once again with the disinfection of schools’ exercise to make them safe for the students.
