Professor Goski Alabi, a renowned academic, leadership consultant, and Ag. President of Accra Metropolitan University (Accra Met), has encouraged Ghanaians, to prioritize building strong human relations as a key to achieving lasting success. Speaking on Onua TV’s Onua Showbiz hosted by AJ Poundz, who filled in for Nana Ama McBrown, Prof. Alabi emphasized that success is not achieved in isolation but through intentional connections with the right people.

According to her, who you associate with can have a significant impact on your personal growth, brand development, and long-term opportunities. Her remarks were a call to action for people to invest in building meaningful, value-driven relationships that can support their goals.

This philosophy is deeply reflected in her leadership at Accra Metropolitan University, where human development, leadership training, and relationship building are central to the learning process. As the founding president of Accra Met, Prof. Goski Alabi has led the institution with a progressive vision to redefine higher education in Ghana one that is open, inclusive, flexible, and aligned with the real world needs of today’s learners.

Accra Metropolitan University is an open university, which means it is committed to providing accessible and flexible learning opportunities to a diverse population of students. The open university model removes traditional barriers to education such as rigid entry requirements, limited classroom space, and fixed schedules. At Accra Met, learners from all walks of life working professionals, adult learners, entrepreneurs, and recent high school graduates can pursue higher education on their own terms.

The university offers a variety of delivery modes, including evening and weekend classes, virtual learning, and blended programs that combine online and in-person experiences. This makes it especially attractive to students who are juggling work, family, or business responsibilities but still want to advance their education and career prospects. In doing so, Accra Met is helping democratize education and empower more Ghanaians to reach their potential.

Under Prof. Alabi’s leadership, the university also places a strong emphasis on mentorship, community engagement, and ethical responsibility. Through seminars, partnerships, and student-led initiatives, learners are encouraged to engage with real societal challenges and develop solutions. This reflects her belief that education must go beyond the classroom to make a lasting impact.

Beyond the university, Prof. Goski Alabi continues to be a powerful voice for leadership development, women’s empowerment, and youth mentorship in Ghana and across Africa.

“Don’t build your business around people you know” NoVisa Foodplug CEO Warns

Published

on

CEO of NoVisa Foodplug, Samira Issaka, has advised entrepreneurs to be deliberate about identifying their target customers rather than depending heavily on friends and acquaintances to sustain their businesses.

According to the foodpreneur, familiarity can sometimes become a disadvantage in business because people who know an entrepreneur personally may not always treat the business with the seriousness required.

She explained that friends and acquaintances may feel overly comfortable asking for favours, expecting discounts or failing to pay promptly for products and services, creating challenges for business owners who depend on their personal networks for patronage.

“Before I started my food business, I already knew the people who will become my customers and was deliberate about it,” she said in a social media post.

Samira’s comments emphasise the importance of understanding the market before starting a business. For her, entrepreneurs should identify people who genuinely need what they are offering and build strategies around serving those customers.

She further referenced a food business located close to Nsawam, where customers are willing to travel a considerable distance to purchase food. She used the example to demonstrate that customers will go out of their way for a product or service when they believe the quality and experience are worth it.

However, she stressed that separating friendship from business should not become an excuse for poor customer service.

While entrepreneurs may choose not to rely on friends to drive their businesses, they must ensure that their actual customers are satisfied with their products and services.

Her advice comes at a time when many young entrepreneurs rely heavily on their immediate social circles when launching businesses. Although personal networks can provide an important starting point, building a sustainable business requires more than having people you know as customers.

A clear understanding of the target market, consistent quality, good customer service and the ability to attract customers beyond one’s immediate circle can ultimately determine whether a business survives and grows.

For Samira, the lesson is simple: entrepreneurs should not confuse familiarity with loyalty, and they should build businesses around value rather than relationships alone.
