Ghanaian entrepreneur Hakeem Jason Adamu was presented with the Honorary Award for Enterprise Development at the 2026 Forty Under 40 Ghana Awards on 12 September at the Kempinski Gold Coast Hotel in Accra. The award recognises his contributions to entrepreneurship, business growth and job creation through companies such as Furniture Fie Ltd and CMP Network Ghana Ltd.
Adamu, founder and CEO of Furniture Fie and CMP Network, said the accolade was a personal and professional milestone. “It means a lot to me personally and professionally. It shows that my hard work and commitment are being recognised, and it motivates me to keep building businesses, creating opportunities, and making a positive impact,” he remarked.
The Forty Under 40 Ghana Awards, celebrating outstanding young business leaders, marked its 10th anniversary this year. The event highlighted achievements across multiple sectors, with Adamu’s work in furniture retail, media production, real estate and hospitality standing out.
Furniture Fie focuses on bringing quality original American furniture to Ghanaian homes and businesses. Adamu noted the company’s role in elevating interior design standards and creating employment. “We have helped homeowners and businesses create beautiful, comfortable spaces while promoting higher standards, supporting the interior design industry and creating employment opportunities,” he added.
Through CMP Network Ghana, Adamu has produced films, edited videos and directed creative projects. He cited import costs, logistics and building customer trust as key challenges, overcome through consistency, transparency, quality products and strong customer service. He credits his late father for instilling discipline and determination, and names Bice Osei Kuffour (Obour) as an important mentor.
Looking ahead, Adamu plans to expand Furniture Fie nationwide, create more jobs and pursue larger projects across his portfolio. “My plan is to expand Furniture Fie across Ghana, create more jobs and continue providing quality furniture. I also want to grow my other businesses, take on bigger projects and make a greater impact,” he said.
He urged young entrepreneurs to start with what they have, remain consistent and never let challenges stop them. The award marks another significant milestone in Adamu’s journey of combining business, creativity and enterprise development.
