Africa 2100 train 25 people at Entrepreneurship workshop
Twenty-five aspiring entrepreneurs have been trained successfully by Africa 2100 at an Entrepreneurship workshop.
The two-day entrepreneurship workshop took place at the Accra City Hotel in Accra from Monday, March 11-12, 2024,
Speaking to Thespectatoronline.com, the founder of Africa 2100, Chudi Obiaya said the objective of the workshop was to validate their business model by leveraging Entrepreneurship to improve the lives of those in the underserved communities on the African continent.
Again, he said it is to equip start-ups to execute their vision and build a community of aspiring entrepreneurs.
He charged them to build a network to continuously push their vision through regardless of the challenges.
Sandra Appertey, affectionately called Casandra of MoneyHub fame, the initiative’s local partners who searched for the right aspiring entrepreneurs for African 100, expressed her excitement in scouting for aspiring entrepreneurs for the event.
She said they partnered with Africa 2100 as a result of their resolve to create awareness on Business and financial literacy for Ghanaians.
Casandra said the programme was crucial in helping create entrepreneurship opportunities for people.
“We leave in a time where 6 out of 10 Africans do not have jobs and for this reason, such programmes are crucial,” she added.
As part of the workshop, participants were first given cards to build their dream house and debrief everyone.
This was aimed at equipping them with the ability to create a vision, which is a powerful tool for any entrepreneur.
Additionally, they also enabled participants to complete and conduct empathy mapping to understand the challenges and vision of the aspiring entrepreneurs.
They also guided participants with SWOT analysis tools and strategies to empower them to be successful in the business market.

The Ashanti South Regional Police Intelligence Directorate has arrested two suspects in connection with a robbery attack on an Indian national in Obuasi and a separately planned robbery operation targeting a distribution company in the same area.
On April 16, 2026, Police received credible intelligence that a group of armed men were planning an attack in Obuasi. A police team moved swiftly into the area and arrested suspect Iddrisu Fuseini, also known as “Iddi”, at his hideout in Bedieso, Obuasi.
During interrogation, he confessed to being part of a six-member gang that attacked an Indian national at his residence at New Baakoyeden, Obuasi, on April 12 2026, robbing him of GH₵150,000.00.
He disclosed that the attack was orchestrated following a tip-off from suspect Ibrahim, an employee of the victim, who informed the gang that the victim kept large sums of money.
Further investigations led to the arrest of a second suspect, Shaibu Mohammed, also known as “SM” or “Cicinati”, on 20th April 2026 at his hideout in Gausu, Obuasi. During interrogation, he admitted to participating in the planning of the robbery and confirmed that the gang had further planned to rob a distribution company near Mawuli Hotel in Obuasi.
Investigations have further revealed that both suspects are currently standing trial at the Obuasi Circuit Court in connection with a separate robbery of GH₵600,000.00.
A manhunt is ongoing to arrest the remaining accomplices, identified as Khalifa, Edward, Prof, Waddle, Ebbe, and Ibrahim, and to recover a pump action gun and a locally manufactured pistol believed to be in their possession.
