Ga Mantse Hails McDan's Resilience as a Beacon for Aspiring Entrepreneurs

King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, also known as the Ga Mantse, has praised the determination and business acumen of Dr. Daniel McKorley, who serves as the Executive Chairman of the McDaniel Group.

During his keynote speech at the impressive 20th anniversary festivities for the KNUST School of Business in Kumasi on Monday, he highlighted this point.

Addressing academics, industry leaders, traditional rulers, and students, the Ga Mantse emphasized Dr. McKorley’s career as an exemplar of the perseverance needed to succeed in the nation's vibrant yet frequently difficult business environment.

Today, as we mark twenty years of outstanding business education at KNUST, we should draw inspiration from individuals who exemplify the values and principles we impart.

"In the tale of McDan, we witness unparalleled perseverance. We observe a Ghanaian who has weathered numerous challenges, maneuvered through intricate situations, and come out more robust, establishing an enterprise that encompasses multiple continents and sectors," said the Ga Mantse.

The King highlighted that McDan’s achievements—from its beginnings in logistics and shipping to substantial growth in sectors like aviation (McDan Aviation), port operations (McDan Ports), salt mining, and agro-processing—were due not just to favorable circumstances, but also to unyielding determination and tactical adjustments.

"Resilience isn’t merely about enduring tough times; it’s also about gaining knowledge, coming up with new ideas, and spotting chances where others only notice roadblocks. The capacity to shift strategies, to confidently put money into Ghana when conditions were unstable, and to generate numerous job opportunities for young people showcases a strong Ghanaian entrepreneurial mindset that deserves recognition and imitation," he concluded.

He encouraged the graduating students and aspiring business leaders in attendance to find motivation in these locally sourced achievements, stressing the significance of honesty, understanding of their own culture, and an unwavering dedication to advancing their country’s progress along with making money.

The 20th anniversary celebrations at the KNUST School of Business centered around enhancing capability and building resilience for sustainable development.
