Parts of his speech which was shared by Voice of KNUST on Facebook had Nana Boakye using himself as an example where he said that the idea to start his food business was birthed in 2018.

He said despite the numerous challenges, he and his team, persevered in their ambition to get the food business started.

"We started this business in our hostel back in KNUST. At the start, we used our study table because we couldn't afford a kitchen table in 2018.
Our first packaging material was an A4 sheet, and we applied Pythagoras' theorem to do that,” the post read.

He charged the graduates to develop an entrepreneurial mindset as they enter the world of work.
