Benjamin B. Ackah-Nyamike, CEO of Merban Capital Ltd, emphasized the importance of financial wellness in retaining skilled professionals in Ghana during his presentation at the Ghana Health and Labour Summit 2026. Financial security, he said, plays a crucial role in building a motivated and sustainable workforce that addresses the growing issue of skilled professionals migrating to foreign countries in search of better opportunities.
Ackah-Nyamike suggested that employers could offer financial benefits such as tier 3 provident funds, staff welfare investment funds, long service investment plans and workplace financial wellness programmes. He highlighted the need for employees to adopt financial discipline, including setting aside a portion of their income, maintaining emergency savings, contributing to pension plans voluntarily and investing additional income.
Ackah-Nyamike also stressed the significance of professional investment management, which involves creating financial strategies based on individual financial objectives, risk tolerance and investment horizon, while diversifying investments and staying updated with portfolio reviews. By adopting these measures, he argued, Ghana can retain its skilled professionals and create a secure financial future for them within the country.
