The latest addition to his collection is the Tesla Cybertruck, which recently arrived at the port, making him the first person to own a Cybertruck in Ghana.
This development adds tremendously to the Ghana tourism industry, as it opens the door to people from all over the world in the country. It has also come to provide employment to the public, especially the youth. The automobile museum will be open to the public very soon.
