Sierra Leone. My name is Mohamed Kanu, an Agribusiness Management graduate from Njala University and the Founder and Chairperson of Agro Businesses Empowerment and Environmental Development for Farmers and Entrepreneurs (ABEEDFE-SL). My journey into the world of agribusiness and community development has been fueled by a deep passion for empowering local farmers and entrepreneurs, especially in rural Sierra Leone. When I embarked on the MBS course, I was already driven by a vision to create lasting change in the agricultural sector. However, I recognized that to truly make an impact, I needed more than just passion—I needed advanced business acumen, leadership skills, and strategic insights. The MBS course provided exactly that.
The MBS program challenged me to think critically and strategically. Courses in financial management, marketing, and organizational behavior were not just theoretical for me; they became tools that I immediately applied in leading ABEEDFE-SL.
Beyond the academic knowledge, the MBS course also offered a platform for networking with like-minded professionals and experts in the field. These connections have been invaluable in sharing ideas, learning from others’ experiences, and finding collaborative opportunities that have furthered the goals of ABEEDFE-SL. The course also refined my leadership approach, emphasizing the importance of ethical leadership and social responsibility.
Since completing the MBS course, ABEEDFE-SL has grown significantly. We’ve been able to launch new initiatives, secure funding, and build stronger partnerships with local and international organizations. The knowledge and skills I gained have empowered me to lead with confidence, knowing that our strategies are sound and our operations are impactful.In conclusion, the MBS course has been a pivotal experience in my professional journey.
