In the first phase of the project, an industrial park with a free zone enclave is already underway.
Bediako says it’s the stuff that dreams are made of; “It’s that kind of value that one wants to leave behind for generations, that’s the spirit of entrepreneurship,” he quips
- By age 21, he had made a million pounds for himself, selling scrap, steel, and telecommunications material while in school at Waltham Forest College, UK.
- He has a book in the works that he hopes will help “…make a million millionaires.”
- He stumbled into the Real Estate business when he rented premises in Accra to operate a highly successful night club. He subsequently bought the premises and later sold it for a tidy profit.
