The Business and Financial Times (B&FT) has been recognised for its contribution towards the development and training of young talent in the country by Enablis Ghana, a membership-based organisation engaged in entrepreneurship training. The ‘First Enablis Fundraising and Awards Dinner Dance’ also witnessed the recognition of various institutions for their role in youth and entrepreneurship development. UT Bank, Ghana Television and Graphicolor Printing Limited, among others, were recognised. The Chief Executive Officer, Ghana Chamber of Telecommunications, Mr. Kwaku Addo Sakyi-Addo, said the hiking of taxes on businesses is killing entrepreneurs in the country. “Tax maximisation is killing businesses; this is because of the failure to think long-term. Taxes should not be increased just to target those who have registered to pay taxes.” Mr. Paul Lamontagne, Chief Executive Officer, Enablis Africa, urged corporate in Ghana to support the activities of Enablis Ghana to enable it train young people to be successful business owners by sharpening their personal skills, problem-solving capacity, creativity, integrity, and business guile. Mr. Oteng Gyasi, past president of the Association of Ghana Industries (AGI), noted: “many problems come with being an entrepreneur. Entrepreneurship education is key, young ones need all the help they can get to succeed.” He recounted how difficult it was to access credit as a young entrepreneur and the uphill challenges he had to overcome. Mr. Prince Kofi Amoabeng, CEO of UT Bank, advocated training of more entrepreneurs in the country if it is to develop and create jobs. The Country Director of Enablis Ghana, Shika Acolatse, said the event was held to recognise and award sponsors, partners, and to raise funds to support the activities of her organisation. Enablis Ghana supports members to be successful business owners by sharpening their personal skills, problem-solving capacity, creativity, integrity, and business acumen. The global non-profit organisation began operations in Ghana in October 2009 and currently has over 130 members. The members benefit from regular training based on a unique plan for each member designed to take them to the next level. It has designed unique funding vehicles exclusive to its members which focus on filing the financing gap that confronts entrepreneurs.
