*At Bakatue

Story: Kwadwo Owusu ADUOMI

Chairman and CEO of Groupe Nduom, Dr Papa Kwesi Nduom has expressed his gratitude to
the people of Elmina for being behind him in his difficulty time.
The business mogul who hails from Elmina yesterday joined his people to celebrate this year’s
Bakatue festival.
In a terse message Dr Nduom said, “It’s been a long time since I stood anywhere in Elmina or
anywhere else in the country like this.  May be four years ago when we traveled across the country for
the bank”. 
“Since then I have been living almost exclusively in the USA for health and business reasons. My
message is a very short one”, he said.
.He added: “You all know what has happened these past four years to me personally and to my
companies.  It has been difficult all around.  But I have believed in my faith, truth and hard work.  So we
have never given up”.
He went bon to say, “Bakatue also signifies a new season and new beginnings.  That is what I wish for
everyone and Edinaman.  Many I have met this past week have asked when Groupe Nduom is going
stand firmly on its feet again and bring jobs back.  We are working hard, solving problems and praying to
God to reward our efforts with success.  When we succeed, Edinaman and the whole country will benefit
from our success. My family thanks all those who have prayed for us, helped us in many ways and

wished us well.  We wish everyone, Nananom and the people a happy, prosperous new year. Afehyia
