Nana Kwame Bediako: The Bold Visionary Powering Ghana’s Future

Nana Kwame Bediako (Freedom Jacob Caesar / Cheddar) is a Ghanaian entrepreneur, real estate developer, CEO of Kwarleyz Group, and philanthropist. Raised by his single mother in Kumasi, he credits her with instilling discipline, hard work, integrity, and strong Christian values that shaped his success. Kwarleyz Group, named after his mother Auntie Kwarley, drives his vision for a New Africa through companies focusing on real estate development, infrastructure, smart cities, financial investments, and property management in West Africa.

He attended Accra Academy, Apam Senior High, and studied Business in the UK. While in school, he sold clothes and invested his earnings to buy his first car at 16. A frustration with repeated wheel clamping led him into the scrap metal business, which inspired him to drop out and focus on entrepreneurship. He later founded GTU, an internet billing company, which he sold for £410,000 before returning to Ghana in 2001. There, he started Wonda World Entertainment (artist management) and owned the nightclub Temptations. He then shifted into real estate, founding Wonda World Estates, developing modern, uniquely designed residential and commercial properties in Accra, including Avenue Lincoln. His flagship development is Petronia City in Western Ghana, a modern integrated city with residential, commercial, and industrial zones aimed at boosting economic growth and employment.

Bediako engages in numerous philanthropic projects supporting education and healthcare for underprivileged communities. He has received multiple awards for his transformative contributions to Ghana’s real estate sector. Seen as an inspirational leader for African entrepreneurs, he recently announced his readiness to guide Ghana and Africa, aiming to harness the continent’s natural resources for broad development. In 2024, despite earlier disinterest in politics, he declared his purpose is to contribute positively to humanity and make God proud through his impact.

“My aim,” he says, “is to contribute positively to humanity and make God proud.”
