The call was made by financial literacy advocate and entrepreneur, Dr Wuaku David Kofi, during a lecture on creative entrepreneurship, where he challenged students and aspiring business leaders to cultivate innovation, resilience and vision in an increasingly competitive and technology-driven world.
