Opinions
“I don’t really think the future of Agbogbloshie is that it should be confined to a waste-dump. I think that it would be transformative. It will become a hub for design thinking, and innovative ways, working hand in hand with the whole populace there to kind of create value added mechanisms and value added products from the waste.” - Joseph Awuah-Darko, British-born Ghanian
"By demolishing Agbogbloshie, the danger is that many others are born, but smaller and spread across all of Ghana" - Professor Oteng-Abavio
“The bulk of the computers that are shipped here, the old, obsolete, second-hand computers are broken, they just don’t work. Why would anyone give us computers that don’t work? It is dumping and nothing more." - Mike Anane
