Western Region will become the Texas of Africa – Cheddar

The leader of the New Force, Nana Kwame Bediako Cheddar, has established that he is focused on turning Ghana’s Western Region into what he imagines as “the Texas of Africa.”

Speaking at the launch of his 12-pillar manifesto, he described the region as “by far the richest region, if not in Ghana, on the continent.”

“This is where we are going to have the most industrial plants with the most minerals, the most agro products to be processed,” Cheddar added.

He believes that developing the Western Region could position Ghana as a global powerhouse, capable of “supplying Africa and even supplying the world.”

Cheddar criticized Ghana’s current economic structure and argued that the nation’s financial stability is harmed by its reliance on it. “The more we import products, the more we drive our economy out of this country,” he warned.

Cheddar’s “24-hour economy” idea has to do with using industrialization to boost output and generate jobs for a variety of shifts. “A machine, a plant, is the only thing that can give you jobs in three different shifts, eight hours times three a day,” he pointed out.
