● Mr. Emmanuel Excellove Egyabeng
The cliché that says “safety is a small investment for the rich future”, and “safety rules are your best tools” actually resonates to building a formidable future for homes and industries through gas installations.
That, notwithstanding, it is very prudent that, one must always put measures in place to enhance a safety living at where individuals reside, and one cannot leave the issue of safe gas installation in this phenomenon.

Mr. Emmanuel Excellove Egyabeng, Managing Director of Excello Engineering Services in an interview with The Spectator highlighted on the need for ensuring safety at all times when one uses gas for domestic and industrial purposes.
The use of Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG), has been a major use of cooking fuel in developed areas and it is classified as a clean burning fuel that has low carbon and emits virtually no black carbon.
Its usage, like the two-sided coin has its pros and cons when handled with an oversight.

Mr. Egyabeng counselled the youth to branch into areas which involve vocational and technical training by seeing it as a viable alternative to harness the talents for financial and economic well-being.
“This work is lucrative and a youth who would delve into this venture at an early stages would make a lot of income and enjoy significant benefits” he added.

Demolition of Fantasy Dome unfair — Mark Okraku-Mantey
Months after the Fantasy Dome was dismantled to make way for construction at the Ghana International Trade Fair site, the Deputy Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture, Mr Mark Okraku-Mantey, has expressed concern over the manner the facility was destroyed.
In an interview on Daybreak Hitz with Andy Dosty, Mr Okraku-Mantey criticised the handling of the dome’s dismantling, suggesting that it could have been done without causing damage.
“I don’t think that leadership gave instructions that they should do what happened. The structure was a prefab but I hear the people destroyed it. That one, we cannot defend it. It is unfair to him (owner). Sometimes, you give instructions and people will go and do things that will make you look bad,” he stated.
When asked about any punitive measure against the workers responsible for the destruction, Mr Okraku-Mantey clarified that the Trade Fair does not fall under his ministry.
He said he had previously contacted the owner, Leslie Quaynor, to discuss relocating the dome, and even suggested the National Museum as a potential site, though it was too small.
The demolition of the 20,000-seater Fantasy Dome occurred on March 16, 2024.
According to Dr Agnes Adu, CEO of the Ghana Trade Fair Company Limited, the action was taken after multiple notices were given to Quaynor to vacate the premises for redevelopment, as per their tenancy agreement.
Dr Adu noted that all previous tenants had complied except for the Fantasy Dome.
Quaynor, in an interview with JoyNews, confirmed that his lease had ended, and was in the process of relocating the dome.
He had requested an extension, which was denied, leading him to seek a writ and an injunction from an Accra High Court to halt the demolition.
Despite this, the demolition proceeded, causing significant damage to the structure.
Quaynor described the incident as a major setback, not only for his business but also for the entertainment industry, which relies on venues like the Fantasy Dome.
