The family, children, and leadership of the Kristo Asafo Mission are united in their resolve to give the esteemed spiritual leader, industrialist, inventor, technologist, farmer, and philanthropist a fitting farewell.
The family of the late Apostle Kwadwo Safo has announced that final preparations for his burial and funeral rites have reached their final stages.
The family said in a statement that all disagreements had been resolved after early talks about succession issues and that they were now solely focused on honouring the remarkable life and lasting legacy of one of Ghana’s greatest innovators, visionaries, and nation-builders.
The burial ceremony will be held on Thursday, July 30, 2026, at the Kantanka Automobile Manufacturing Centre at Gomoa Mpota in the Central Region, according to the family.
This is the industrial hub founded by the late Apostle Kwadwo Safo, where his vision of an entirely Ghanaian automobile manufacturing industry took shape.
Apostle Kwadwo Safo made clear instructions on how he wanted to be remembered by future generations in his last testament.
A memorial building has been built inside the industrial complex to honour his memory in accordance with those aspirations.
In order to provide a permanent repository of his life’s accomplishments, the memorial will hold his personal belongings, such as his clothing, shoes, tools, inventions, prototypes, and chosen works.
Tens of thousands of mourners from Ghana and elsewhere are anticipated to attend the national memorial service on Friday, July 31, 2026, at Accra’s Black Star Square (Independence Square), according to the family.
An unprecedented number of luminaries from the political, traditional, religious, diplomatic, and business spheres are anticipated to attend the funeral.
The nation’s tribute is anticipated to be led by President John Dramani Mahama, Chief of Staff Julius Debrah, state ministries, and high-ranking government officials.
According to the family, former presidents John Agyekum Kufuor and Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo have also indicated that they would be willing to attend the funeral for the late Apostle Kwadwo Safo.
Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, a former vice president and flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party, will join them along with national leaders from the NDC and NPP.
Members of Parliament from the Majority and Minority Caucuses, as well as the Speaker of the House, Rt. Hon. Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin, are anticipated to be present.
The Speaker has ordered a statement to be made on the floor of Parliament in remembrance of the late Apostle Kwadwo Safo, a rare parliamentary honour. Members from both sides are expected to honour Safo’s remarkable contributions to Ghana’s industrial, scientific, and technological advancement.
A special documentary detailing the extraordinary life, inventions, and accomplishments of Apostle Kwadwo Safo will be broadcast on Parliament TV throughout the week as part of Parliament’s tribute.
The family also stated that a Thanksgiving service will be held at the Prempeh Assembly Hall in Kumasi on Saturday, August 8, 2026, to wrap up the final funeral observances.
According to the family, Apostle Kwadwo Safo leaves behind an unmatched history of ingenuity, independence, industrial brilliance, and humanitarian service.
He proved that Africans have the creativity and ability to overcome their own developmental obstacles through his groundbreaking work in the fields of vehicle manufacture, engineering, agriculture, education, science, and technology.
His body of work will continue to inspire future generations and is an enduring tribute to Ghanaian ingenuity and tenacity.
