What does the Local Guides program mean to me

  1. I remember vividly on 14th May, 2016 I was with the Ghana Cocoa Board and I was assigned to the above pictured warehouse. I was in charge of taking stock of cocoa fertilizer that was been hauled from the Tema Harbour to Nsawam Cocoa Marketing Board Warehouse’s. I remember 4 drivers of the long vehicles conveying the fertilizer lost their way and drove past the warehouses for about 8 Km before i got in touch with them and struggling to get them over was hell. I remember a friend of mine quizzed why I did not use google maps to easily facilitate their journey. This mishap ended up costing the company millions of Ghana cedis and I remember my Boss getting so furious that I was fired the following month. I vowed hence to use my little opportunity to help others who might find themselves in the same or similar predicament. This local guide tour program have helped a lot of businesses in Ghana.
