Cheddar Finally Explains His ‘Master Plan’ That Will Bring Sea To Kumasi
Cheddar remains undeterred by the ridicule he has faced due to his sea-to-Kumasi comment. He has now presented a fresh outlook on his approach to accomplishing exceedingly ambitious goals.
During a listening tour at the University of Cape Coast, Cheddar elaborated on his vision, drawing upon his childhood fascination with maps and Africa’s geographical arrangement.
He also highlighted the unexplored potential of Ghana’s water sources, including the Pra and Oti Rivers, which he plans to leverage in linking the inland city of Kumasi to the coastal region.
“When I was checking the map of this country, I saw the rivers Pra and Oti. When you’re coming from Kumasi to Cape Coast, the big river is just there. It’s not connected.
“When I started this tour, I went to Techiman, then to Tamale, then to Bolga, then to Bogoso, then to Techiman. So every time I went to the room, I quickly studied the map of that region.
Then I found out that there’s a river Tano in Techiman, and it goes all the way to the end of Takoradi, sharing the border with the Ivorian coast. Next to it is the sea,” he explained.
He finally added:
So what we have to do is just dredge our land, let the sea merge with the water bodies, the river, and the lagoon, and start to use it as a transportation. It’s been there, but we haven’t thought of it. You can look at the Manchester canal, all of you can google how they dredged the sea to merge with the river for it to become that,” he said.
