• Obed Obeng Danso manufactured the vehicle using scraps mostly from a discarded three-wheeled vehicle
• The self-taught student opened up about how it all started, including how he defeated odds to accomplish his childhood dream

Ghanaian teenager, Obed Obeng Danso of the Community Development and Vocational Technical Institute (CONVOTECH) in Tarkwa in the Western Region, has built his first car.

The 18-year-old's vehicle runs on fuel with almost no challenge as it moves with no impediments on the road.

Danso told Ghanaweb on BizTech that he always dreamt of building a vehicle, and through determination, he finally made it a reality.

Despite his little resources, Danso's resilience led him to buy scrap parts of a discarded three-wheeled vehicle, known in Ghanaian parlance as 'Aboboyaa', to finish his work.
