"CNN is proud to be showcasing the appeal of Ghana and the inspiring vision of Petronia City through this high-profile advertising campaign," said Antonio Canto, Vice President, Advertising Sales, CNN International.

"Reaching more affluent consumers and business people than any other news provider, CNN International is the ideal partner for Nana Kwame Bediako to showcase his vision for Petronia, Ghana and, indeed, Africa to a powerful and influential audience. We look forward to playing our part in helping build the image of Petronia City and showing the role it can play in Africa's future."

“As a global media platform that informs and transmits technical, corporate, continental and cultural news, CNN has captured a universal audience which inform and educate themselves with vital societal information necessary for creating opportunities for current and future generations,” said Nana Kwame Bediako, Founder & CEO, Petronia City Development.

“Indeed it is the only 21st century media hub that brings global attention to the most substantial stories in the world. Petronia City aims at developing Africa with integrated cities.
