Obed Obeng Danso, a Ghanaian teenager from the Community Development and Vocational Technical Institute (CONVOTECH) in Tarkwa in the Western Region, has built his first car.
The 18-year-old’s vehicle consumes little fuel and moves with little difficulty on the road.
Danso told Ghanaweb on BizTech that he had always wanted to build a vehicle and that through hard work, he was able to do so.
Danso’s perseverance led him to buy scrap parts of a discarded three-wheeled vehicle, known in Ghanaian parlance as ‘Aboboyaa,’ to finish his work.
The Auto Mechanic student stated that he taught himself how to build cars, drawing inspiration and knowledge from the operation of three-wheeled vehicles.
Danso stated that after building his first car, he wants to become a professional to train others, particularly young people, in the skill.
