Accra, Ghana — Entrepreneur and investor Richard Nii Armah Quaye, former Board Chairman of Bills Micro Credit and Quick Angels, is calling on Ghana’s youth to take the helm in driving the nation’s economic transformation. Speaking at a press conference marking his retirement from both boards, Quaye emphasized the role of young innovators, entrepreneurs, and civic-minded leaders in shaping a sustainable and inclusive economic future.
“My dream is about the young people of Ghana, and it is a call for an economic and financial revolution,” Quaye told reporters. “In my dream, I see a future where the young people of Ghana have woken up and joined forces together to turn around the economic fortunes of our country.”
Quaye’s remarks come amid growing concerns over youth unemployment and capital flight, which he described as significant barriers to local economic development. He urged the next generation to invest in homegrown businesses, leverage technology, and support fellow entrepreneurs, insisting: “Don’t take your money out of the shores of this country.”
