Speaking on CTV’s "Master of the Game," he stressed doing better business akin to the culture observed in Western practices, aiming for mutual growth and prosperity rather than short-term gains.
Agongo cited his intent to foster sustainable growth with organisations like Cocobod and the national energy sector, prioritising partnership over exploitation.
