Return to Ghana鈥檚 Oil City
Rob Walker returns to the port of Takoradi, the hub for Ghana鈥檚 new oil industry, to find out what difference oil has made to its residents.
Ghana鈥檚 first commercial oil began flowing two and a half years ago. Shortly after the taps were turned on, Rob Walker visited the hub for the new offshore industry: the once sleepy port of Takoradi. He found a mixture of ambition and uncertainty in a rapidly expanding boomtown. Rob now returns to Takoradi to catch up with those he met last time and find out what鈥檚 become of their hopes and fears.
