Mary Awuku launches a book on entrepreneurship

Wife of the Director General for the National Lottery Authority(NLA), Sammi Awuku, Mary Anane Awuku has launched her book on Entrepreneurship.

The book was launched at a brief ceremony at the African Regent Hotel in Accra on June 8, 2024.

The book 'Entrepreneurial Success' details the experiences of over 30 Ghanaian entrepreneurs in diverse niches.

Speaking at an event to launch the book, Mary Anane Awuku indicated that her book provides insight for budding entrepreneurs.

She indicated that she tackled entrepreneurship in her book because of their role in supporting the government.

“Business startups make a significant contribution to the nation’s economy. It is entrepreneurs who feed the government. So let’s use this to support and educate people so well that they will be able to excel in entrepreneurship and create jobs for people. The government alone cannot do it all. We need the private sector to support job creation as well,” she said.

On his part, the chairman of the event, Alex Apau Dadey, indicated that entrepreneurship helps create wealth.

However, he underscored the need for people interested in entrepreneurship to learn the ropes and gain some skills and experience before branching into entrepreneurship.
