My 16 regional industrial revolution will create jobs, avenues to change Ghana's economy, Africa — New Force Leader

Founder and Leader of the New Force Movement, Nana Kwame Bediako, popularly known as Freedom Jacob Caesar or Cheddar, has unveiled his ambitious campaign policies centered on industrialization in all sixteen regions.

In an interview on Peace FM’s ‘Kokrokoo’ morning show, Cheddar outlined his vision for an industrial revolution to address the pressing issue of unemployment and foster economic transformation.

After deciding to run for the presidency, Cheddar embarked on a listening tour across all sixteen regions of Ghana.

During this tour, according to him, he identified a common challenge - widespread unemployment affecting youth, the aged, and widows.

"I realised that there are no jobs across the sixteen regions. There are widows and persons living with disabilities who are not working. Aside from that, the government has also not established anything for them to be financially liberated which has led to an exponential increase in unemployment.

“I also discovered that there were no factories in the regions. You will notice that so many of the youth are walking about without any source of income to support their families as well as themselves, so it is important to embark on this 16-regional Industrial revolution to create jobs, to create revenues to change the economy and by extension, the African continent.”

He highlighted the lack of factories in many regions, noting that most youths are left without any source of income to support themselves and their families.

Cheddar further stressed the importance of his 16-regional industrial revolution to create jobs and generate revenue, ultimately changing the economy and impacting the African continent.

He said, “Everyone wants to clear his goods or do business in Accra. Kumasi lacks a lot of factories and this challenge is faced by a lot of the regions. That is why, I want Ghanaians to embrace this great initiative from the New Force team."

"Accra does not have oil, gold nor any of the natural resources but there are lots of companies here. So it is my vision to build factories across the regions so that the natural resources in the various regions could be harnessed and processed to bring financial and economic liberation to the indigenous people of the regions,” he added.
