Tracing the Professional Life of Asantehemaa Nana Yaa Akyaa II
Nana Yaa Akyaa II, Asantehemaa, has built a diverse professional background prior to ascending the stool.
She began her career at Queensway Bookshop in Kumasi, owned by her uncle, Barima Kwaku Mensah, one-time Chairman of Kumasi Asante Kotoko FC.
She later took up employment with Kingsway Stores (owned by Miller Brothers), a British firm specialising in import and export and a subsidiary of Unilever Ghana in Kumasi.
