In this video, we'll be talking to the founder of A Solar powered shopping mall in GHANa, He sold all his properties in America and Europe to set up this mall.

If you're interested in understanding how he sustained A&C mall for so many years, then this is the video for you. We'll be talking to He about his experience, the mall's history, and the challenges he faced along the way. This is definitely a video you don't want to miss!


A&C Development was founded by Andrew and Cecilia Asamoah, the main objective of the company is to develop first-class, ultra-modern commercial lifestyle centers in Ghana.
Over nearly two decades, A&C has earned a reputation for creativity and innovation in the building industry and is perhaps best known for its flagship project A&C Mall – the first mall in Ghana, which evolved into the first mixed-use center, with a gross leasable area of 30,000m² laid out over five acres of prime land in the heart of Accra’s largest residential mid- to a high-end community of East Legon.

He built his first house at the age of 26 and at 68, Mr. Andrew Kwabena Asamoah, Executive Chairman of A & C Development Co. Ltd, which owns the A & C Shopping Mall (now A&C Square) at East Legon in Accra, is nowhere near taking a break from getting structures off the ground.

A former World Health Organisation (WHO) director, Mr. Asamoah had to brace enormous risk and defy various advice that malls would not do well in Ghana to construct the first landmark shopping mall in the country, the A&C Shopping Mall, which today has many other facilities.

Being a monument with astronomical investment, constructing the mall was not attractive even to the financial services sector and it took the tenacity and leadership of Mr. Asamoah to get the facility off the ground.

The executive chairman, therefore, went by a prudent plan to build the facility in phases; the main mall with a car park and children’s playground; a fitness center with an Olympic-size swimming pool, and two office blocks in two phases.

Not only did the facility put the country on the world stage, but it also brought a befitting status to the country as a growing economy with a growing middle class. Today, not only has the Andrew and Cecilia (A&C) Development Co he found making inroads in the real estate and consumer shopping sub-sectors, the Capital Finance International – a reputable print journal and online resource reporting on business, economics, and finance – has awarded Mr. Asamoah with the Corporate Leadership Award for 2013.

Andy is a brick-and-mortar sort of person, who likes everything construction, and real estate, explaining his passion to build his first house at age 26, to fulfill a desire to move his parents from a rented apartment into one they could call their own.

A&C Development is a fast-growing real estate and construction company that is building properties in many parts of the capital city, its flagship being the shopping mall.

In line with his philosophy to keep improving services and facilities on the premises to “wow” patrons of the mall, the company is continuously developing structures, improving services, and transforming the place to attract customers.

A&C Development has completed the construction of phase two fitness center and swimming pool and a third phase business plaza. The final phase four, a combination of an upscale retail and office plaza, is also completed. The expansion includes an underground car park.

Already, the company’s office and residential properties at East Legon, Dzorwulu, and other parts of the city are at different stages of development.

Career
After obtaining a General Certificate of Education (G.C.E.) Ordinary Level and RSA certificate from Ghana, Mr. Asamoah qualified as a lawyer and obtained certificates in public relations, journalism, and many other disciplines from other jurisdictions.

Mr. Asamoah has had a fruitful career with the World Health Organisation (WHO), which started at the prime age of 22. His work within the WHO has taken him to the WHO Regional Office for Africa in Brazzaville, Congo, Nigeria right up to the WHO headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland.

His hard work at WHO saw him rise through the ranks into various positions, including Chief of Personnel; Special Adviser to the Director-General of WHO on Constitutional Reforms and Regional Arrangements, and Director, Career Development Service/Global Security Coordinator.

He retired as the Director of Administration and Finance at the Regional WHO Office for Europe in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Mos Def - Umi Says

From 1999 Album: "Black On Both Sides"

Born Dante Terrell Smith on December 11, 1973, in Brooklyn, NY, Mos Def began rapping at age nine and began professionally acting at age 14, when he appeared in a TV movie. After high school, he began acting in a variety of television roles, most notably appearing in 1994 on a short-lived Bill Cosby series, The Cosby Mysteries. In 1994 Mos Def formed the rap group Urban Thermo Dynamics with his younger brother and sister, and signed a recording deal with Payday Records that didn't amount to much. In 1996 his solo career was launched with a pair of high-profile guest features on De La Soul's "Big Brother Beat" and Da Bush Babees' "S.O.S." A year later, in 1997, Mos Def released his debut single, "Universal Magnetic," on Royalty Records, and it became an underground rap hit. This led to a recording contract with Rawkus Records, which was just getting off the ground at the time, and he began working on a full-length album with like-minded rapper Talib Kweli and producer Hi-Tek. The resulting album, Black Star (1998), became one of the most celebrated rap albums of its time. A year later came Mos Def's solo album, Black on Both Sides, and it inspired further attention and praise. Yet, aside from appearances on the Rawkus compilation series Lyricist Lounge and Soundbombing, no follow-up recordings were forthcoming, as the up-and-coming rapper turned his attention elsewhere, away from music.

During the early 2000s, Mos Def acted in several films (Monster's Ball, Bamboozled, Brown Sugar, The Woodsman) and even spent some time on Broadway (the Pulitzer Prize-winning Topdog/Underdog). He simultaneously worked on the Black Jack Johnson project with several iconic black musicians: keyboardist Bernie Worrell (Parliament/Funkadelic), guitarist Dr. Know (Bad Brains), drummer Will Calhoun (Living Colour), and bassist Doug Wimbish (the Sugarhill Gang, Grandmaster Flash, Living Colour). This project aimed to reclaim rock music, especially the rap-rock hybrid, from such artists as Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst, who Mos Def openly despised. What made Black Jack Johnson so anticipated though was not so much the supergroup roster of musicians or even Mos Def himself, but rather the lack of black rock bands. Following the demise of Living Colour, there were few, if any, that had attained substantial success. Mos Def hoped to infuse the rock world with his all-black band, and during the early 2000s, he performed several small shows with his band around the New York area. In October 2004, he finally delivered a second solo album, The New Danger, which involved Black Jack Johnson on a few tracks.

Two years later, after a few more acting roles — including the Golden Globe-winning Lackawanna Blues and the Emmy-winning Something the Lord Made, both of which were made-for-television movies — Mos Def released his third solo album, True Magic (2006). A contract-fulfilling release for Geffen, which had absorbed Rawkus years prior, the album trickled out in a small run during the last week of 2006. Bizarrely, the disc came with no artwork and was sold in a clear plastic case — though its single, "Undeniable," did manage to grab a Grammy nomination for Best Rap Solo Performance. The Ecstatic, released on the Universal-distributed Downtown label, followed in June 2009; at that point, Mos Def had significant acting roles in Michel Gondry's Be Kind Rewind (in which he co-starred with Jack Black) and Cadillac Records (he played Chuck Berry).
