Leverage Apostle Kojo Safo Kantanka's Many Gifts To Make The 'Ghana Beyond Aid' A Reality In The Shortest Possible Timeframe

Such is the quality of leadership it is blessed with, there is no question that had Apostle Kojo Safo Kantanka been born in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) - with the same inventive and disciplined mind he has - today, he would be running class-leading natural pesticide and natural growth-enhancing soil-additive producing manufacturing giants, supplying organic farming inputs to organic farmers in all five continents of humankind's one biosphere.

It never ceases to amaze me that our nation's leaders still fail to see the potential to turn Ghana into the world's leading producer of organic fruits and vegetables, as well as  the world's leading producer of organic cocoa beans, by leveraging some of the polymath Apostle Kojo Safo Kantanka's many gifts.

Nothing can justify continuing to ignore a brilliant and truly unique mind responsible for making it possible for Ghana to produce self-charging electric vehicles - the global automobile industry's holy grail. Not when purchasing his self-charging electric saloon cars, pick-up trucks and 4x4 vehicles will dramatically reduce public expenditure:  by eliminating the cash component used to fuel state-owned vehicle fleets across the nation from our country's annual budget allocations to public-sector entities.

And would public health in our country not improve dramatically, if henceforth Ghanaians could purchase organically produced fruits, vegetables and other locally grown foodstuffs across the nation - because Apostle Kojo Safo Kantanka's natural pesticides and natural growth-enhancing soil-additives were the only such imputs allowed for use in farming in Ghana: because the state had partnered him to set up factories for that purpose across Ghana, in sundry public private partnership (PPP) 1-district-1-factory agreements?

Food for thought for Ghana's minister for food and agriculture: Japan recently rejected a batch of cocoa beans imported from Ghana because they had unacceptable levels of chemical residue - including heavy metals. Again. Those who have been tasked by President Akufo-Addo to grow the cocoa sector must look to collaborating with Apostle Kojo Safo Kantanka to protect Ghana's cocoa industry's future. In that regard, they must be as bold, innovative, dynamic and far-sighted as the UAE's brilliant leaders. Simply put, our nation can no longer afford to ignore the many gifts of Apostle Kojo Safo Kantanka - which ought to be leveraged to make the goal of a 'Ghana beyond aid' a reality in the shortest possible timeframe.
