I need surgery to stop my growth – Ghana’s tallest man cries for help
Sulemana Abdul Samed who is reported to be Ghana’s tallest man is appealing for financial help to undergo surgery to stop his growth.
29-year-old Samed, who stands at an incredible seven feet four inches said on Breakfast Daily on Citi TV on Tuesday, January 10, that Doctors at the Tamale Teaching Hospital have told him that he will continue to add to his height if the surgery is not performed.
“I need help for surgery because the doctors said the growth is in my head, so I need surgery to stop it,” Samed said, adding, that he is also suffering from chronic pains in his spinal cord.
Samed, popularly known as ‘Awuche,’ also stated that his gigantic stature also means he must use at least 14 yards of material to sew a single cloth.
He added that he has resorted to Issahaku Musah, a tailor to make his preferred outfit.
Mr. Musah has for the past seven years been making clothes for Sulemana.
This he said is taking a toll on his finances. He disclosed that his mobile money business has collapsed.
Aside from clothing, Awuche does not have a befitting bed.
His double-sized mattress and a student mattress have been combined to give him relative comfort, even that, he has to sleep in a diagonal way.
From afar, he looks tall and like a giant but a closer view of him reveals Awuche is physically unfit.
He is battling chronic wounds with a bandage tied to his left leg. There is also a visible wound on the right leg plus other health conditions.
Ordinarily, anyone in Awuche’s fame would’ve been excited, but he admits the thought of his health condition is draining.

Many SOEs have been used as mere instruments for personal wealth accumulation –Pres.Mahama
President John Dramani Mahama has expressed concern over the misuse of State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) for personal financial gain by individuals in leadership positions.
Speaking during a meeting with Chief Executives of specified entities under the State Interest and Governance Authority (SIGA) on Thursday, March 13, the President directly attributed the dire state of SOEs to their leadership, accusing chief executives, management teams, and governing boards of prioritising personal enrichment over organisational efficiency.
He pointed to bloated budgets, unjustified allowances, and unnecessary expenditures as factors draining public funds while SOEs continue to rely on government bailouts.
“Many SOEs have been used as mere instruments for personal wealth accumulation by appointees. The chief executives, management, and boards of these enterprises are responsible for this situation. Some SOEs have become perennial loss-makers, draining public funds with bloated budgets, unjustified allowances, and unnecessary expenditures while relying on government bailouts as if entitled to them. Many of these entities are at their lowest point in the entire history of the Fourth Republic,” he said.
President Mahama further noted that many SOEs have been plagued by inefficiencies, corruption, and mismanagement, leading to consistent financial losses. He cited the 2023 State Ownership Report by the State Interests and Governance Authority (SIGA), which highlighted systemic inefficiencies and wasteful expenditures within these entities.
He therefore reaffirmed his commitment to reforming under-performing SOEs and ensuring they serve national interests.
He warned that loss-making SOEs will no longer be tolerated and will either be merged, privatised, or closed.
“I will assess you based on your performance. If you do not align with the pace of the reset agenda, you may be asked to step aside. If that adds to the horror movie, so be it,” he added.
