A Ghanaian food content creator, Chef Abbys, last week fed over 15,000 people on the streets of Accra to mark World Food Day (WFD).
Supported by other food content creators, food companies, and social media influencers, she served food to people at several vantage points such as Kwabenya, Fadama, Madina, and the Efua Sutherland Park.
Known as the “Big Street Feast,” the event was organised under the theme “Wherever you are, food will find you,” to commemorate World Food Day.
World Food Day, celebrated on October 16 every year, aims to promote global awareness and action for those who suffer from hunger and to highlight the need to ensure healthy diets for all.
This year, the day was marked worldwide under the theme “Hand in Hand for Better Food and a Better Future.”
The event featured food trucks and Yango delivery services, which shared meals such as Attiéké, jollof, plain and fried rice, fries, banku with tilapia, kenkey with sardine, and pastries to people on the streets of Nima, Dansoman, and other communities in Accra amidst music.
At Efua Sutherland Children’s Park, the atmosphere was filled with joy and fun as several artistes took turns to entertain patrons who were being served free food.
Additionally, some selected patrons received electrical appliances such as fridges and microwaves.
Chef Abbys described food as a language of care, stating that,
“Today, we are speaking it loud and clear. The event was not just about eating — it was about unity, kindness, and giving back.”

Businessman Mr. Ibrahim Mahama has denied reports linking him to a takeover bid for the Volta Aluminium Company (VALCO).
His reaction follows a demonstration by members of the VALCO Labour Union today, during which some protesters alleged that Mr. Mahama was interested in acquiring the state-owned aluminium company.
In a statement issued by his Special Aide, Rafik Mahama, the businessman said he has “no such interest” and has not made any offer to acquire VALCO.
“The allegation is the latest in several vile attempts to impute the integrity of Mr. Ibrahim Mahama and subject him to needless public engagements,” the statement said.
The statement added that Mr. Mahama’s business track record speaks for itself, describing his companies as “some of the best-run operations across the African continent.”
It further noted that all of Mr. Mahama’s business interests were “legally commenced or acquired” and operate within the law a fact it said explains why his businesses have endured across seven election cycles.
“Mr. Mahama remains committed to contributing his quota to the development of Ghana by investing in business opportunities in Ghana and beyond,” the statement added.
The statement also disclosed that Mr. Mahama has instructed his lawyers to take the necessary legal action over the publication and allegations.

The leadership of Kristo Asafo has dismissed reports circulating on social media and in some media outlets that the late Apostle Kwadwo Safo Kantanka will be buried on July 30, 2026, describing the claim as false.
The current head of the Kantanka family and leader of Kristo Asafo, Kwadwo Safo Akofena Kantanka, addressed the issue during a press conference in Accra today.
He said no burial date has been set and urged members of the church and the general public to disregard any unofficial announcements.
“I urge the members of Kristo Asafo and the nation to disregard any burial date out there,” Akofena said.
He further stressed that neither the leadership of the church nor the Kantanka family has made any such announcement regarding the funeral.
According to him, all official funeral arrangements will be communicated only through a formal statement from the Kantanka family when the time is due.
Akofena Safo Kantanka said the family remains united in ensuring that the final funeral rites are conducted in a manner that befits the legacy of the late Apostle.
He called on Ghanaians to remain calm and wait for the official communication from the family, warning against the spread of misinformation.
Background
Apostle Dr. Ing. Kwadwo Safo Kantanka, founder and spiritual leader of Kristo Asafo Mission of Ghana, passed away recently, plunging the church and the nation into mourning.
The late Apostle was widely known not only as a religious leader but also as an industrialist, inventor, and founder of the Kantanka Group of Companies, which manufactures vehicles and other machinery in Ghana.
Since his passing, there has been heightened public interest in his funeral arrangements.
It would be recalled that a faction of the siblings and family led by former MP Adwoa Safo had earlier announced a proposed burial date and arrangements.
That announcement, however, has been rejected by the current leadership of both the church and the family.
