Data from the World of Statistics has mentioned Accra, Ghana’s capital, as the seventh most polluted city in the world.
This was contained in a Twitter post by the Institution.
According to the ranking, Accra comes below Dakan, the capital of Bangladesh, which placed sixth, and above Noida in India, which placed eighth.
Napal’s Kathmandu came first in the ranking, with Helsinki in Finland coming in as the least polluted city in the world.
It is however unclear what metrics were used by the World of Statistics in arriving at these rankings.
It can be recalled the President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, in 2017 pledged his commitment to making Accra the cleanest city on the African continent within the next four years.
Six years on, the world ranking reveals that the commitment hasn’t been a reality.
Below is how the countries were ranked from the first to the tenth around the world:
