‘We don’t know any other country that eats fufu the way we eat it, with the variants of soups and proteins that we have. And so, if we are celebrating the founders of Ghana, it gives us an opportunity also to celebrate our local food.
‘It is very exciting to be here this afternoon, partnering with the Gold Coast Restaurant to bring that delightful food that people are very excited with, with Maggi,’ she said.
