Philanthropist and entrepreneur Daniel Nyame, also known as Dannyame, is urging students and young people to pursue opportunity-based entrepreneurship, highlighting Technical and Vocational Education Training (TVET) and Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) as key pathways to success.
He made the call at the Dannyame Youth Entrepreneurship Support Program, where he provided business expansion cash support to 10 young entrepreneurs and encouraged others to take advantage of similar opportunities.
Dannyame stressed that entrepreneurship remains a strong avenue for reducing unemployment and driving economic growth, adding that TVET and STEM offer limitless potential for innovation and job creation.
He appealed to parents, traditional leaders, and stakeholders to support young people who wish to explore these fields.
The event, designed to empower emerging entrepreneurs, also served as a platform for Dannyame to share his experiences and insights on how entrepreneurship contributes to national development.
The financial support extended to the beneficiaries is expected to help grow their businesses and create additional employment opportunities.
Dannyame’s initiative forms part of his broader commitment to promoting youth entrepreneurship and empowerment across Ghana and is expected to inspire more young people to venture into business.
Meanwhile, 36-year-old Wahab Fusani, winner of the Dannyame Youth Entrepreneurship Support Program, received GH¢80,000 to expand his business.
He expressed gratitude to the organiser and appealed to stakeholders to create more opportunities and offer soft loans to help young entrepreneurs employ more youth.
On his part, the Denkyembour District Chief Executive, Umar Ahmed Tutu, encouraged young people to embrace entrepreneurial opportunities, emphasising the role of entrepreneurship in economic empowerment. He reaffirmed the Assembly’s commitment to supporting youth-led initiatives aimed at reducing unemployment in the district.
