In a publication by Ameyaw Debrah, the celebrated blogger said '' From startups to small and medium sized businesses to large corporations, women have played and continue to play significant roles in creating jobs, introducing innovative solutions to critical challenges, producing relevant products and services and creating wealth.
In Sub-Saharan Africa and particularly in Ghana, statistically, there are more women entrepreneurs and women-run businesses than their male counterparts. Despite the diverse responsibilities and challenges women face, their tenacity, resilience, commitment, passion, ingenuity, vision and exploits are worth recognizing and celebrating''
NB: Sanatu Zambang believe there are more of such women but we might have missed it. If you know of any, kindly leave a comment so we can make another list.
