Veteran Ghanaian actress cum entrepreneur, Akofa Edjeani Aseidu has revealed that she has been unable to pay her workers as a result of the current economic crisis.
According to the popular actress, who runs a restaurant alongside her acting career, the hike in food prices has affected her business dearly.
In an interview with GhanaWeb’s Doreen Abanema Abayaa, Ms Edjeani revealed that she hasn’t been able to pay her workers and feed her household.
“I run a restaurant, and as of last week, oil was like 660 cedis and now is 1200 and above. Rice is double the price. Everything is double the price, so I am actually not breaking even. I am running at a loss. I can’t pay my workers, I can’t feed my household,” she revealed.
Although Ms Edjeani is struggling to keep her business alive, she is hopeful and adds that she is using her creative mind to find a solution.
“I really don’t know what to do, so I am trying to see what to do in this chaos. There is always a way out. So, I am sitting still, and I am thinking. I am a creative person, and I run a restaurant, and so if the restaurant is not working, I need to use my creative mind to explore other things to see how I can survive,” she added.
