Return to Ghana’s Oil City

Available for over a year

Ghana’s 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’s become of their hopes and fears.
