The leader of the New Force, Nana Kwame Bediako, has emphasized his commitment to making the Western Region “the Texas of Africa.”
Cheddar, as he is popularly known, spoke at the launch of his 12-pillar policy document, describing the region as “by far the richest region, if not in Ghana, on the continent.
He believes that developing the region would position Ghana as a global powerhouse, capable of “supplying Africa and even supplying the world.”
He further explained that by establishing the most industrial plants, processing the most minerals, and producing the most agro products, Ghana can reduce imports and drive economic growth.
Cheddar also highlighted plans to boost industrialization in Ghana, which he believes would drive and stimulate a 24-hour economy.
He stated that machines and plants are essential for creating jobs in three different shifts, eight hours each, throughout the day.
