Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Rock Gardens Eco-Resort Dr. Asaa Sumaila Mohammed says he is inspired by the story of Jesus Christ of Nazareth to make a mark.
Dr. Asaa Mohammed said although he has been cautioned against some of the initiatives he has undertaken back at home, he main remain resolute in realizing them.
He argued that everyone is born for a purpose and must stand for it even if it means losing their lives in their attempt to fulfil it.
“I’m motivated by Jesus story that he came to the world to make a mark. Not to compare myself but just take the inspiration that you have a purpose on earth to live for. When you identify it, no matter how small it is, live for it,” he stated in an interview on Dreamz FM.
“No matter how small that you are worth dying for, it can be taking an initiative like I’m taking, taking initiatives that people have thought of but are afraid to do. Don’t be afraid. Take an initiative. No matter what you can do, the little contribution to humanity in whatever form, don’t be afraid that somebody or some group of people will kill you or say bad about”.
Dr. Asaa Sumaila Mohammed, an academic is the brain behind the Rock Gardens Eco-Resort, which has become a go-to place for relaxation and sightseeing in the Upper East Region.
The Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA), as part of activities to mark this year’s National Chocolate Day, recognised the resort as one of the havens for tourism and recreational activities in the Upper East Region.
At a ceremony by the GTA to project the facility, Dr. Asaa disclosed how he was described as someone who has gone nuts when he acquired a rocky land to start the resort.
He has since revealed plans to develop notable shrines in the Upper East Region into tourist attractions.
In his view, such shrines were the olden days’ way of conserving nature hence, his decision to develop and protect those reserves.
He urged residents of the region to endeavour to take advantage of locally available resources to improve their living conditions.
