Akofa Edjeani Aseidu, a Ghanaian actress, has disclosed that she has been unable to pay her employees due to the current economic crisis.
According to the popular actress, who now owns a restaurant in addition to her acting profession, the rise in food prices has had a significant impact on her business.
Ms Edjeani stated to GhanaWeb’s Doreen Abanema Abayaa that she has been unable to pay her employees and feed her family.
“I run a restaurant, and as of last week, oil was like 660 cedis and now is 1200 and above. Rice is double the price. Everything is double the price, so I am actually not breaking even. I am running at a loss. I can’t pay my workers, I can’t feed my household,” she revealed.
Ms Edjeani is battling to keep her firm afloat, but she is optimistic and says she is utilizing her creative mind to find a solution.
“I really don’t know what to do, so I am trying to see what to do in this chaos. There is always a way out. So, I am sitting still, and I am thinking. I am a creative person, and I run a restaurant, and so if the restaurant is not working, I need to use my creative mind to explore other things to see how I can survive,” she added.
