Entrepreneur and investor Richard Quaye is calling on Ghana’s youth to take a leading role in transforming the nation’s economy through innovation, entrepreneurship, and active civic engagement. Emphasizing the power of young minds to drive sustainable growth, Quaye urged the next generation to harness technology, develop businesses, and challenge the status quo. His message comes amid growing recognition that youth-led initiatives are vital to unlocking Ghana’s full economic potential in a fast-changing global landscape.
Richard Nii Armah Quaye, now the former Board Chairman of Bills Micro Credit and Quick Angels, has made a clarion call to the youth of Ghana, urging them to take charge of the country’s economic future through unity, innovation, and entrepreneurship.
Speaking at a press conference to announce his official retirement as Board Chairman of Bills Micro Credit and Quick Angels, Mr. Quaye declared: “My dream is about the young people of Ghana, and it is a call for an economic and financial revolution. 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.”
His remarks struck a passionate chord as he reflected on the urgency of addressing youth unemployment and driving inclusive growth. He called for increased investment in homegrown enterprises and discouraged capital flight, saying, “Don’t take your money out of the shores of this country.”
Richard Quaye emphasized that now is the time to support local entrepreneurs with capital and mentorship, to foster a new generation of job creators rather than job seekers.
The occasion also marked a transition in leadership. Lawyer Kwadwo Dei Kwarteng was introduced as the new Board Chairman of Bills Micro Credit.
With over 15 years of legal and corporate experience, he assured stakeholders of continuity and enhanced commitment to Ghanaian businesses: “We are committed to maintaining and deepening our strong and transparent relationship with the regulator as we continue to uphold the highest standards of compliance and customer service.”
In a related announcement, Emmanuel Lamptey was named the new CEO of Quick Angels. He outlined a bold vision to scale investment operations and tap into emerging sectors, stating: “Our vision is evolving. We will scale new heights, explore untapped sectors and strengthen the ecosystem that drives economic transformation.”
The event also featured the unveiling of a new holding company, RNAQ Holdings, where Richard Nii Armah Quaye will now serve as President.
