Ghana Wakanda
In this regard, Africaglobalradio reports that; the city of Cape Coast has signed a memorandum of understanding; with the Africa Diaspora Development Institute (ADDI) and two local companies to create an ultramodern city. The city will be called the; “Wakanda City of Return.” The proposed name of the city is inspired by the popular Hollywood movie, “Black Panther.”
The project seeks to leverage the heritage and cultural tourist assets in Ghana. The partners want to create a place of pilgrimage for the people of African descent to learn about their; history, culture, the civilization of Africa, and its role in the creation of the new world economy.
Also, the private sector-led initiative, will develop the coastline and new areas in Cape Coast by creating a heritage experience with the provision of; 5-Star hotels, retreat/ health resort, conference centers, and an ultra-modern continental corporate headquarters for ADDI.
Additionally, the project organizers say the timing of the project is right since the country is still benefitting from the; “Year of Return” and the “Beyond the Return” initiative organized by the government.
