The Kristo Asafo Mission on Sunday, December 29, 2019 held its annual technological, agricultural exhibition at the Apostle Safo School of Arts and Sciences at Awoshie in Accra.

The exhibition of food produce, demonstration of two vehicles and a durbar which marked the 39th edition since the inception of the annual exhibition by the founder and leader of the Kristo Asafo church, Apostle Dr Kwadwo Safo, witnessed the unveiling of a newly manufactured special armoured personnel carrier vehicle and a 40-footer luxury vehicle molded in the shape of a wingless plane.

The durbar attracted people from all walks of life among who were the Chief of Defence Staff, Lieutenant General Obed Akwa, the Vice-President of the National House of Chiefs Daasebre Kwebu Ewusi VII and the Akwamuhene, Odeneho Kwafo Akoto III, who was special guest.

It was on the theme: “Enhancing sustainable technology, organic agriculture and culture; The pathway to development.”

Technology
The Vice-President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia who outdoored the new vehicles said technology was key to development and therefore the African and for that matter the black man could lead the technological development in Africa and in the world.

He said such a vision by Apostle Dr Safo was in line with the vision shared by the government to prepare the minds of the country’s youth for the world of work through the government’s Ghana Beyond Aid agenda which he said could not be achieved without technology.

To that end, Vice-President Bawumia said to focus on technology meant government must focus on the areas of education that also enhance technology.

He said the government has paid a lot of attention to education culminating in the introduction of the free SHS policy which he indicated would serve as a building block for technological education in the country.

Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Kantanka Automobile Company, Kwadwo Safo Jnr, has explained why his father, Apostle Dr Ing. Kwadwo Safo, built the aeroplane-like vehicle.

According to him, his father had always been the type that would always want to be the first to invent something unique into the world.

“The main focus of my father is to always do something that has never been done before by anyone. He believes in uniqueness and that was his focus in creating the airplane car,” he noted.

He added that the airplane car will be available on order.

“It’s a prototype and you know we have a lot of people in the world that would want to do something crazy. Someone might want to ride in something like this and so it’s going to be available only on order basis,” he told Joy News.

According the CEO, the airplane car cost around GH¢ 100,000.00 to produce.

Despite its hugeness, he said the airplane car can be used to ply roads in the country.

“Like any other vehicle, this car can be used on our roads. We have trailers, tankers and limousines plying our roads and looking at the length and breadth of the vehicle, it can be used on our roads,” he noted.
