Across the capital Accra, evidence of new resource wealth
abounds - brightly-lit multi-storey buildings, cranes looming
over construction sites, well-paved roads and billboards
advertising banks, cars and mobile phones.But many Ghanaians remain excluded. An influx of rural
workers hoping for jobs in Accra, has spawned a sprawl of
outlying shanty towns and spilled vendors across the streets.Standing in a trash-strewn courtyard, 49-year-old school
teacher Monica Quansah wonders where the oil money is going."Our children are still attending school under trees," she
said. "Those of us in the city don't have reliable power and
water, let alone those in the regions."
