John Agyekum added that, after one year of working for himself, he got an opportunity to travel outside the country, specifically Germany.

In Germany, he became a cleaner at an abattoir and after 3 years, he ended up owning the cleaning company.

Taking the step

He said he mustered courage one day to meet the owner of the abattoir the cleaning company he was affiliated to was working for, and he pitched the idea of transferring the contract to him.

Mr Agyekum said due to the commitment he exhibited in doing the job, the contract was given to him.

After some years, he was able to employ other people to join his company.

The idea to start up his own abattoir in Ghana came after seeing how pig feet were disposed off at his place of work when they are a desired delicacy in Ghana.
