Creating employment opportunities through chain of restaurants fulfilling – TiC
Ghanaian Music legend, TiC known in private life and Nana Kweku Okyere Duah, has said creating employment opportunities through his chain of restaurants is fullfiling for him.
TiC who is still making waves in the music industry has opened another branch of his Gennex Pizza Restaurant and Grill at Weija, White Cross, in addition to others in Accra, Konongo and Kumasi.
Speaking to The Spectator, he revealed that in the coming days, he would open a new rest-stop on the Accra-Kumasi stretch.
He said it was fulfilling to be creating employment avenues for young people to also make a living.
“I started my music career at Dansoman, and I have a restaurant there, to say thank you to the people for all they did for me, I have opened other branches employing a lot of people, and this gives me joy and fulfillment,” he said.
TiC is of the view that this is his way of giving back to the society for the support he had received in his music career over the years.
This notwithstanding, he called on Ghanaians to patronise it, to make his dream of opening more doors for the youth a reality.
The ‘Kwani Kwani’ hit maker urged others in the music industry to combine entrepreneurship with music to propel their career to higher heights.
