Tributes have been pouring in for the late Alhaji Adam Iddrissu who is one of Ghana's leading entrepreneurs.
The industrialist and business mogul, 83, passed on Wednesday after dawn (Fajr) prayer.
In line with Islamic traditions, his burial rites were performed on the same day.
Mr Iddrissu has founded a lot of businesses in the country. His investments are in areas like banking and finances, real estate, agriculture, construction, transportation and insurance.

“He is sorely going to be missed but I believe that he’s put in place systems that can work and carry on even after his is gone,” Mr Poku said.
