“Our experiences from 2014 till now has been challenging and educative since it was quite difficult getting people to accept the Adepa shoes as a brand worth relying on to deliver to their expectations, but our persistence to churn out unique, quality, affordable and trendy designs devoid of short falls helped us to break that jinx”.

Ghana, the west African nation that has opportunities for entrepreneurs: what do you think ?
“The merit of doing business in Ghana is the direct access you have to human resource which you can train to achieve any goal you set as an entrepreneur. Our folks in the diaspora should look back to Ghana and the African continent at large, because there are a lot of opportunities to be explored , and resources , both human and natural, with a lot of potentials to be harnessed. We currently have a retail outlet in Accra where people buy our ready to wear shoes we are setting up an E-commerce site which would be going live in some weeks time”.
