Ghanaian MBA Student Turns Ride-Hailing and Egg Sales into Multiple Income Streams While Studying
F.A. Adusei, a Ghanaian student based near the KNUST campus in Kumasi, is pursuing a Master’s in Business Administration while juggling several entrepreneurial ventures. Originally from Kumasi, Adusei lives in Abrepo and has balanced academics with business since his undergraduate days.
In an interview with DJ Nyaami on SVTV Africa daily Hustle Gh, Adusei shared that although his MBA graduation date was initially set for March, it has been delayed. His background includes work at a hospital as an ultrasound technician, but he quickly realized a typical 9-to-5 job wasn’t for him. After national service, he entered the ride-hailing space, starting Bolt operations in 2019.
Adusei’s entrepreneurial mindset began early. While in school, he sold beds to students and encouraged classmates to make partial tuition payments while investing the remainder in a lubricant distribution business. He later returned the funds to them with interest. He emphasized that saving helped him develop financial discipline and eventually led him to invest in assets such as vehicles.
By 2017, he had saved enough money to purchase a Toyota Yaris, which he used for Bolt. He also ventured into egg supply, delivering to customers on campus in the early mornings, making considerable profits. His diversified ventures include transportation, Bolt, a mobile money business, and student leadership roles, including serving as president of the graduate student body.
At one point, Adusei was earning up to GHS 6,000 monthly from Uber, far more than his colleagues working in hospitals for GHS 2,500–3,000 monthly. He reinvested this money into a transportation business, buying a Corolla in 2023 and registering it for Bolt in January 2025.
Despite Ghana’s economic instability—particularly the inflation crisis of 2022—Adusei remained resilient. He believes strongly that youth should explore ride-hailing opportunities instead of waiting for office jobs. “Bolt drivers can make GHS 3,000 weekly, even giving car owners GHS 500 a week for maintenance,” he explained.
He advocates for a change in mindset among graduates, encouraging them to build income streams such as barbering shops, food delivery, or mobile services. Adusei also coordinates exchange programs in France for students and has plans to expand his business further.
His story underscores how financial discipline, smart investment, and a proactive mindset can turn small beginnings into significant ventures. He credits his supportive family, especially his father and mother, for their backing, and says everything is currently on track for greater achievements in 2025.
