The Entrepreneurship Fair.

UniMAC Entrepreneurship Fair Showcases Innovation.




Accra, Ghana – March 29, 2025. The Entrepreneurship Fair: EDF 2025 – The Venture Vanguard Edition at the University of Media, Arts and Communication (UniMAC) was a vibrant showcase of student innovation, as participants presented creative business ideas as part of their final exams. The event featured a diverse range of projects, from modern twists on traditional foods to innovative hygiene solutions.

One of the most talked-about products was Pitoh, a reimagined version of the classic local drink. Many attendees, both young and old, were eager to try its new flavors—palm wine and pineapple with ginger—which led to Pitoh becoming the first product to sell out. One attendee who tasted the palm wine-flavored Pitoh described it as “very nice.” The group’s friendly service and high hygiene standards also impressed customers.

Another standout project was Gashit, a pre-mixed combination of gari and shito designed for SHS boarding students. Instead of buying ingredients separately, students could simply purchase this ready-to-eat mix in sachets or containers. The packaging was well-designed, making it both convenient and appealing.

Other groups introduced unique food and beverage innovations, including Ticket Berry powder and a groundnut bread spread, catering to different tastes and nutritional needs. A group focused on women’s hygiene created a package containing sanitizers, sanitary pads, and other essentials for personal care. Another team introduced a baobab fruit drink, personally harvested and processed by the students. Those who tried it, including a roommate of one attendee, praised its refreshing taste.


The fair was not just an academic exercise but a real-world experience that allowed students to develop, market, and pitch their products to potential investors. Faculty and industry professionals praised the students for their ingenuity, emphasizing the significance of such events in nurturing the next generation of entrepreneurs.

With innovative products like Pitoh, Gashit, baobab drinks, and health-conscious food items, UniMAC’s young entrepreneurs are proving they have the creativity and drive to make a lasting impact.

HEAVY RAINFAIL.

  Heavy rains caused flooding in the local airport residential Heavy rainfall on the afternoon of the 25th of March inundated the whole town, turning airport residential into a water village. The downpour went on for about an hour and the drainage system was not able to take that much water. Water flowed into homes on streets at ground level-which normally don't see any water even during heavy storms! A big tree was snapped off by the wind that accompanied this flood, damaging several properties at random. Goods still hung up from the tree remained there next day. As the floodwaters came into my dormitory and with them our chances to be out of doors for hours, my hostel was a dry tower atop the ocean. Around us in the neighborhood, all of our roads became rivers running in every direction — sometimes slowly enough for it to be navigated with difficulty by anyone at all who tried. People woke up in the morning to a shin deep road flooded by the night′s rain. Homes and shops were eng...
