"We have four wheels, two wheels, but for this, we only used a single shaft, which is one wheel. So this is both motor and car parts combined. So it can carry one passenger," he explained.

The young man also bemoaned the lack of interest in craftsmanship among Ghanaian youth.

"This is a reverse tricycle, which I made from home at Mamponteng. It's my first project that I want to showcase to encourage others to do something with their hands. I have realised that most people in Ghana don't value handiwork, but this is my handiwork," he said.
