Hers is a story of courage in the face of uncertainty. In this insightful chat, Oluebube Akah tells all about leaving her role as Manager at KPMG, and building Agas Wholesome into one of the most sought-after producers of natural beverage and seasoning powders in Nigeria.

While starting a business may seem cool, I’ve seen too many people become obsessed with an idea and quit their jobs impulsively only to realise their potential business isn’t as strong as they thought it would be. Before you do anything reckless, be sure to learn from those who have been there.

In this edition, we learn from someone who left a great job and was able to build a thriving Agro-business around Healthy African Foods.
