What are the positive aspects of Akufu-Addo's regime? The man simply messed up and dissipated the goodwill and overwhelming trust Ghanaians had repost in him at the time. To think that this man Akufu-Addo was said to be groomed from infancy for the presidency and given his level of cluelessness,tyranny,incompetence and corruption as president one will ask what if he wasn't groomed? It would've been more catastrophic and disastrous. His only legacy the shambolic FSHS was poorly and hastily implemented to score political points the reasons for its abysmal performance and close failure.

Congratulations to Mr. Awuku but hey, go to Industrial Area and see things made out of waste plastics and rubber. Waste paper, wood, sawdust are all reusable. Where do you think carpets, church chairs and your polytank comes from? He’s done well but we should not talk as if we landed a rocket on the moon.

I didn't know that journalism is so cheap in Ghana, like I went into it after my form 4 education or to say, after elementary school. How can you say pure water sachets when there's no such thing as such in the English language, as a journalist? Plastic bags or waste from sachet water, would have been appropriate. It stems from the culture of copying Nigerians to use wrong English terms names for things. That's what it is. That actual name for that kind of water is sachet water, not pure water, duh..

You can correct the English but we all know what he's referring to. In our time and age strict diction is making way for general understood terminology which eventually is accepted as applied.

I am sorry, but at same, it pisses me off to read some of the articles some of our so-called journalists put out there for the world to read as an English speaking nation. It's completely a disgrace. I do shake my head reading some lines in articles from them, grammar that even I a form 4 leaver won't put out there. You may not believe me, but that's only my level of education and I am proud of it because I was one of best in my class in middle school, but I didn't have the financial backing to continue my education from there.

You must be a clueless villager. This Ghanaian is not the first person to transform recycle plastics into a viable product, therefore there's no need for any government protection for his invention being stolen by foreigners as you asserted. The question you should ask is whether there's a market for the desks produced from recycled plastics.

Folks instead of senseless president John Dramani Mahama to rather support our innovators he said he is going to reclaim the land our irresponsible senseless useless chiefs sold to galamseyers to destroy the land and poison it ecosystems for both humans and animals consuming which affects our health and senseless president John Dramani Mahama said he is going use tax payers money to reclaim the destroyed lands which corrupt chiefs are the reason behind the destruction instead of the imbecile president to tell chiefs to reclaim the lands the moron president said he is going to use our money to reclaim what we did not benefit.Folks I think Mahama should be sent to psychiatric hospital for mental assessment for being an imbecile.

Why is everything have to do about the government? What is the government going to do to support him? The man should apply for a loan from a financial bank to expand his production and market it to educational institutions.

This is truly inspiring! Not only have you created a sustainable solution that provides durable furniture for schools, but you’re also actively cleaning the environment by turning pure water sachet waste into something of lasting value. It’s a powerful example of circular innovation—tackling plastic pollution while improving access to education. Your journey shows what’s possible when vision meets perseverance. Keep leading the way!

*"Your Excellency JDM, Ghana’s unemployed graduates need bold solutions beyond government jobs. Innovators like the young man recycling ‘pure water’ sachets into school desks prove that supporting grassroots green enterprises can turn waste into wealth, skills into jobs, and dependency into self-reliance.

Sir, let’s urgently:
1️⃣ **Scale up funding** for youth-led recycling/upcycling ventures,
2️⃣ **Integrate such models** into national entrepreneurship programs (NEIP, YEA),
3️⃣ **Partner with schools & businesses** to create demand for these eco-products.
