“Cleanliness Is The Mindset”: Spaco Lee Calls On Buea Denizens To Take Action, Clean-Up Campaign Kicks Off

Buea-based comedian and influencer Ngamfon Derick Ndakwe, popularly known as Spaco Lee, believes keeping Buea clean starts with a change in people’s mindset. “Cleanliness is the mindset. America is America because of the mindset . Than to be blaming the Government, ley is put our force see how we can make it” he said during the city-wide clean-up campaign in Buea on Wednesday October 7.

Spaco Lee has been taking action himself by volunteering every week to clear blocked gutters and remove waste from the streets. His efforts formed part of a wider campaign launched by the Buea Council and the Divisional Officer to improve hygiene and sanitation across the city.

The three-month campaign was launched at Bongo Square, bringing together hundreds of volunteers, community leaders, transport unions, tricycle riders and NGOs involved in environmental activities. South West Governor Bernard Okalia Bilai also attended the launch.

Buea Mayor David Mafani Namange said the campaign is aimed at making Buea clean again. He called on residents to take part, stressing that keeping the city clean requires everyone’s effort.

Divisional Officer Abba Abdouraman said the campaign will also focus on educating residents about proper waste disposal and recycling, particularly plastic waste, which remains a major pollutant in the city.

For Spaco Lee, the message goes beyond one clean-up exercise. His weekly volunteer work shows that keeping Buea clean is not only the responsibility of authorities but also a duty that begins with individuals.

With the campaign expected to run for three months, the real test will be whether residents can turn the clean-up effort into a daily habit.
