    Today marks the end of an incredible journey 🎉 As of today, September 30th, I officially complete my National Service with Epiroc Ghana. This past year has been an amazing learning experience filled with growth, hands-on training, and numerous opportunities to expand my knowledge in supply chain management. A major highlight of my time at Epiroc has been conducting an extensive research project on the supplychain operations within the company. This research provided deep insights into the collaborative processes, communication within the supply chain, and the essential role of the supply chain in driving the overall success of Epiroc. Special thanks to my manager #Eric Nyarko, my supervisor, Vincent Nkpe, for their unwavering support and guidance throughout my journey. Your mentorship helped me gain practical skills and complete this significant research. A heartfelt thank you to the Epiroc Family. Your guidance and mentorship is well appreciated. Cheers to #DanielQuagraine, Laminu Mohammed Felix Buoh, Rhoda Aboagye, liman alhassan, IVY APPIAH, Grace Boateng, francis Baah, Thomas Nkrumah, Bridget Baidoo, Samuel Quansah, Barnabas Anyema Kwaku Osei Danso Nadia Boamah Justice Appiah et al., 🍻 To my colleagues, #CliffordAmponsah Justina Abena Owusua ,Vanessa Denkyi , Sampson Anaful, #JosephBaah, Vivian Akpoli, Asiata Yunus, and Shamira Yakubu, I wish you the very best in all your future endeavours. A huge thank you to Nexford University for the academic and practical training that perfectly complemented my hands-on experience at Epiroc. The lessons from my #MBA in Sustainability played a pivotal role in shaping the focus and depth of my research, equipping me with the tools I needed to succeed. I would also like to recognize my undergraduate supervisor, Benjamin Agyei-Owusu (PhD) , for his mentorship in research writing. His guidance during my undergraduate years was invaluable and laid the foundation for the success of this project. This milestone not only marks the conclusion of my National Service but also the beginning of a new chapter. The knowledge gained, especially through my research, has fueled my passion to explore further opportunities in the field of supply chain management and beyond. Here’s to growth, learning, and exciting new challenges ahead.

    From Gonja Land to Global Impact📚 Education is the foundation of growth, and knowledge is the key to unlocking endless opportunities. Coming from the roots of Gonja Land, Salaga, I understood the significance of both early on. After graduating from Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi with a Bachelor's degree in BSc Business Administration (Logistics and Supply Chain Management), I set a challenging goal: to complete my national service and earn a Master's degree simultaneously, specifically, a Master's in Business Administration with a major in Sustainability. Sustainability isn't just a trend; it's a necessity for the future of Ghana, Africa, and the world. This focus has not only broadened my understanding of sustainable practices but has equipped me with the tools to contribute meaningfully to our nation's development. The journey has been one of stress, sacrifices, and unwavering enthusiasm. Today, with just 27 days left to complete my national service, I am proud to have achieved my goal, earning my #Masters in Business Administration #MBA in Sustainability from none other than Nexford University. Nexford University has been instrumental in this journey, offering a learning experience that is not only flexible but also deeply enriching. The strategies and knowledge shared by the professors have been invaluable, equipping me to think critically and act decisively in the business world. As Nelson Mandela once said, "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." And as Albert Einstein noted, "Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value." These quotes have guided me through this journey. This marks the end of one chapter and the beginning of another. I extend my heartfelt thanks to Michael H. McGivern, Ph D, Michael Rodriguez, Howard C. Fero, PhD Olufunke (Funke) Akiyode, #NexfordSuccessTeam, my family, my undergraduate supervisor Benjamin Agyei-Owusu (PhD) friends Manaf Abubakar Sixtus Yelle-Abobo Kankpeyeng and all who supported and cheerd me throughout this journey. As I move forward, I am excited to contribute to the fields of business, Supply Chain, mining, and agribusiness, armed with the knowledge and skills gained from this experience. The future holds great promise, and I am ready to embrace it.
