During a recent statement, business mogul Nana Kwame Bediako, popularly known as Cheddar, predicted that the Western Region of Ghana has the potential to become the “Texas of Africa.” Cheddar highlighted the region’s vast natural resources, including oil, gold, and other minerals, drawing a parallel to Texas, which is known for its rich energy resources and significant economic influence in the United States.

Cheddar emphasized that with the right investments, infrastructure, and governance, the Western Region could experience rapid economic growth, transforming it into a major hub for industry and commerce in Africa. He encouraged stakeholders to capitalize on the region’s potential and work collaboratively to ensure sustainable development that benefits both local communities and the broader economy of Ghana.
This bold vision underscores the importance of strategic planning and investment in harnessing the region’s resources to drive economic progress, similar to how Texas has leveraged its resources to become a powerhouse in the U.S.
