Vice President Bawumia has applauded the remarkable achievements of Apostle Prof. Ing. Kwadwo Safo, Founder and leader of the Kristo Asafo Mission, especially in the area of agricultural and technological development.

He also pledged that the president Nana Akufo-Adoo’s government will offer the necessary support required to back Kantanka Automobile Company Limited to provide technical solutions in certain issues affecting the country.

“Government alone cannot lead the way by bringing a new dimension to our educational structure and industrial transformation. It behoves on some individuals and corporations to contribute to the wellbeing of society by identifying the problems and offering solutions.
