In these days, he lived behind our home, and there was no avenue connecting to his home for vehicles to move, so my sibling and I used to help him in carrying his stuff house anytime he returned from city. That is how we turned pals.
“Shortly after I completed basic school, I had made GH¢1 from selling P.K. and other things. Note, I am not talking about GH¢1 in today’s value; I am talking about it as in 1984,” Tobbin stated.
Drawing inspiration from the Muslim businessman, younger Tobbin determined to enterprise into prescription drugs, marking the start of his affluence.
“So, I informed Alhaji Baba that I had made one cedi from my sales and was not sure I could continue with secondary education. I asked him what I could do with my one cedi. He then bought some medicines for me to sell, and that is how it all started,” he added.
Tobbin singled out the brothers of Ernest Bediako Sampong, the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Ernest Chemist Limited, for particular point out, acknowledging the steering and help he acquired from them in the course of the preliminary levels of his journey into the pharmaceutical business.
