Degree holder ‘ditches’ accounting certificate to sell Hausa ‘koko’

A young man who completed his first degree at the University of Ghana in 2018 with a BSc Administration, majoring in Accounting, has provided more evidence to the above.

Identified as Jonathan, he has put aside his certificate to take over his family business at Hohoe, in the Volta Region.

He became the spotlight on X after he disclosed his intention to expand the business and employ several people, especially junior and senior high school graduates.

Jonathan disclosed that apart from selling Hausa koko, they sell other food too, following the expansion of the business.

He said the restaurant, named A1, has over 12 branches and that he is looking forward to penetrating the Accra market.

Stating his motivation for venturing into entrepreneurship instead of being in the corporate world, Jonathan said, “Since I was out of school, this is a family business that sustains us. I did BSc Administration, majored in accounting, and graduated in 2018. Since then, I took up this job to make it a big business to employ especially SHS graduates.

“Most of my workers are in school, JHS graduates, SHS graduates… I have 12 branches in town,” he added.
