In a heartfelt tribute shared on X page on Monday, September 15, 2025, Hon. Agyapong hailed Apostle Safo as “one of the greatest industrial pioneers this nation has ever known,” noting the enduring impact of his work on Ghana’s industrial and technological landscape.
“I have always believed profoundly in his work and had hoped our nation could provide the strategic support necessary to propel his inventions onto the global stage,” Hon. Agyapong said.
