“STOP THE BLAME GAME, FOCUS ON BUSINESS CREATION” – Richard Nii Quaye Challenges Ghanaian Youth
Business mogul Richard Nii Armah Quaye has urged Ghanaian youth to shift from criticizing leaders to creating their own opportunities, emphasizing entrepreneurship as the key to national economic transformation.
The call was made during the launch of RNAQ Holdings—the parent company of Quick Angels Limited and Bills Micro Credit—in Accra yesterday, marking a new chapter in Quaye’s business leadership journey.
In his address, Quaye, now President of RNAQ Holdings, challenged young Ghanaians to abandon the “blame game” and instead harness their potential to build sustainable businesses.
“Let us not sit back and always complain about political leaders failing us. That path leads nowhere. Instead, let’s take the bull by the horns and create opportunities for ourselves and future generations,” he stated.
The launch also introduced a leadership transition as Emmanuel Lamptey took over as CEO & Board Chairman of Quick Angels Limited. At the same time, Kwadwo Dei Kwarteng assumes the role of Board Chairman of Bills Micro Credit.
Quaye, stepping back from executive roles, will now focus on strategic advisory services for his 21 companies under RNAQ Holdings.
Quaye encouraged wealthy youth to invest locally rather than keeping funds idle in banks or moving them abroad.
“Those with capital should invest in the skills and businesses of those without. Let’s form networks of angel investors to minimize risk and maximize success,” he urged.
He also invited skilled young entrepreneurs seeking funding and mentorship to partner with RNAQ Holdings, saying: “We can invest together, build together, and win together.”
Quaye reiterated his non-political stance, clarifying that his sole ambition is to drive economic growth through youth-led enterprises.
“My aspiration is to see Ghana thrive economically. This is not about politics—it’s about creating jobs, boosting confidence, and building black wealth,” he emphasized.
With Ghana’s youth unemployment rate at 12% (World Bank, 2023), Quaye’s push for self-reliance and collaborative investment presents a practical pathway to economic empowerment.
