“For us here at Cape Coast Restaurant, we are happy that we will be contributing to this phenomenal history.”

President of the Ghana Union in Manchester, Dr. Alex Nana Mensah, was full of praise for the organizers of the Sekondi Takoradi Christmas City Project for “your strive to bring the Ankos and Sekondi Takoradi onto the global stage.”

He added: “The prospects are huge as we will have an event that will take us closer to home, our children here will learn about their heritage and it could also drive tourism to Ghana.”

Charles Cobbina later presented a replica of the jersey of the Premier League Club Samatex FC of Samreboi to BBC’s George Addo Jr who promised to “help promote the sporting side of the Sekondi – Takoradi Christmas City Project and the one being planned for the UK.”
