        Thank you the BBC for reaching out as we work hard to change the narrative for Africa. We can create wealth from the waste and tell a better story with waste as a resource for sustainable communities and cities

        Link up, get down to Ghana, Learn from him, you will be a master soonest, then fly out gracefully. I think it will roll you out in Cameroon.

        Africa's full of talents. The lack of proper platforms to execute these plans internationally has been the major challenges. Congratulations!!! Keep it up

        "Mr African Leader", your vision to transform the continent is meaningless unless it is linked to the total involvement of brains with innovative ideas. Great work from Awuku

        Ghana has been the dumping ground for a lot trash from the west, mainly plastic and electronic, turning the ground, water and air into a hazardous and polluted environment, thankfully the German government went in last year funding e-waste recycling programs...
