Biography
Early Life and Entrepreneurial Beginnings
Born in the village of Bredi, Nkoranza South District, Bono East Region, Chairman Adjei's foundational years were deeply influenced by his father, Nana Kwadwo Adjei, the respected chief of the village. His basic education commenced at Bredi Primary School, a cornerstone of the community established by his father.
Early on, Chairman Adjei exhibited a strong entrepreneurial spirit, engaging in petty trading and becoming a well-known figure in his hometown by the age of 11.
His post-basic education journey led him to Tema, where he partnered with his maternal aunt in an ice cream venture, showcasing his nascent business acumen. The business thrived under his stewardship, competing favorably with established brands.
International Expansion
His ambition then took him to Spain, where he furthered his education and swiftly integrated into the European business sector, partnering with Cilogar Construction and Exporting SL and excelling in the importation of construction materials.
Return to Ghana and Business Innovations
Chairman Adjei returned to Ghana in 1992, driven by a desire to contribute to national development. He ventured into the hospitality industry, establishing the Royal Nick Hotel, which stands as a testament to luxury and excellence in Tema.
He further expanded his entrepreneurial footprint by founding Nick & Cilogar Limited, which was later rebranded as Royal Lighting Limited which has transferred 100 percent of shares to his wife and children.
However, his flair for business creation got him to introduce innovative business models in the trade facilitation and inspection sectors through Ghana Link Network Services Ltd and Nick TC-Scan Limited.
His ventures extended beyond Ghana, establishing companies in Sierra Leone, Guinea Bissau, and Gambia, and diversifying into the oil and gas sector with Misyl Energy and Nick Petroleum Company Limited.
