Richard Quaye exits Bills Micro Credit as Kwadwo Kwarteng takes over leadership

Richard Nii Armah Quaye, renowned entrepreneur and investor, has officially ended his tenure as Board Chairman of Bills Micro Credit and also stepped away from his executive role at Quick Angels.

At a press briefing to announce this major transition, Mr. Quaye urged for what he described as an “economic and financial revolution” to tackle Ghana’s rising youth unemployment.

“My dream is about the young people of Ghana, and it is a call for an economic and financial revolution. In my dream, I see a future where the young people of Ghana have woken up and joined forces together to turn around the economic fortunes of our country,” he said.

He highlighted the need for strategic investment in young entrepreneurs and local enterprises. “Don’t take your money out of the shores of this country,” he appealed, urging stakeholders to back Ghanaian-led businesses that can generate jobs and stimulate economic growth.

Following his exit, legal practitioner and corporate governance expert Lawyer Kwadwo Dei Kwarteng has taken over as the new Board Chairman of Bills Micro Credit. With more than 15 years of experience in law and business management, Lawyer Kwarteng is expected to enhance the company’s vision of supporting enterprise development and fostering innovation.

In his remarks, Lawyer Kwarteng reiterated the company’s mission to uplift local businesses. “We are committed to maintaining and deepening our strong and transparent relationship with the regulator as we continue to uphold the highest standards of compliance and customer service,” he said.

Additionally, Emmanuel Lamptey was introduced as the new Chief Executive Officer of Quick Angels. He assured the public of his commitment to driving investment and supporting the growth of businesses across various sectors.

“Our vision is evolving. We will scale new heights. Explore untapped sectors and strengthen the ecosystem that drives economic transformation,” Mr. Lamptey added.

The press event also served as the launch platform for RNAQ Holdings, a new enterprise with Richard Nii Armah Quaye as its President, signaling his next chapter in corporate leadership and investment.
