Founder of the Class Media Group and business mogul, Alhaji Seidu Agongo, has shared an inspiring account of his early entrepreneurial journey, highlighting how determination and hard work laid the foundation for his success in Ghana’s media landscape.

According to Alhaji Agongo, his business career began at the age of 16, when he sold home appliances at Opera Square, sourcing his goods from Burma Camp. With limited resources but a strong entrepreneurial spirit, he steadily built a reputation for diligence and reliability.

Driven by innovation and a desire to solve everyday challenges, he later ventured into telecommunications at a time when access to communication services was limited. Through persistence, he became one of the first individuals to establish a communication centre that connected Burma Camp and Opera Square, providing an essential service to residents and businesses in the area.

Reflecting on his journey, Alhaji Agongo described his early experiences as formative, shaping his approach to business and leadership. He noted that the lessons learned during those formative years discipline, resilience and strategic thinking, have remained central to his success.
