Businessman considers tree office as rent jumps from GHC1500 to GHC10k per month

Businessman and founder of Sesi Technologies, Isaac Sesi, has sparked widespread discussion after revealing his landlord’s drastic rent hike from GHC1500 to GHC10,000 per month for his office space.

In a Facebook post, Sesi shared his frustration with the sudden increase.

“Our office rent was GHC1500/month. Rent is due. Landlord says Ghana is hard so rent has increased to GHC10k/month. Take it or leave!” he wrote.

The post quickly gained traction, resonating with many who face similar challenges in Ghana’s tough economic climate. One of his followers had suggested he sat under a tree and use the space.

True to his word, Sesi was later seen working under a tree with his laptop.

“As one of my followers has rightly pointed out, we don’t even need an office as I usually just work from under a tree. I just have to find some big tree on KNUST campus and move my whole team to just work from there. Easy GHC10k saved.
