To lead projects that not only construct buildings but also build bridges of opportunity, education, and economic growth between the U.S. and Ghana.
Nana Frimpong Manso’s (A.K.A. Harry Agyemang) journey from a small town in Ghana to the bustling construction industry in the United States is nothing short of inspirational. Born and raised in Kumasi, Ghana, Nana’s early life was filled with dreams of building—a passion that began as a child, crafting toy houses from boxes. Little did he know that this childhood hobby would one day lay the foundation for a thriving career in construction, spanning two continents.
In 1999, driven by the pursuit of the American dream, Nana Manso moved to the United States. His determination and work ethic soon led him to establish Skyrock Construction LLC in North Carolina, USA. Over the past 15 years, Skyrock Construction has grown into a formidable force in the American construction industry. With a team of over 80 employees, the company has successfully completed high-profile projects, including banks, schools, and luxury hotels. Under Nana’s leadership, Skyrock Construction has earned accolades such as the Outstanding Achievement in General Construction award, solidifying its reputation as a leader in the field.
Despite his success in the United States, Nana’s heart has always remained close to his roots in Ghana. He never lost sight of his childhood dream to contribute to the development of Kumasi. This deep connection to his homeland has driven him to embark on a new chapter in his career—one that brings his expertise and passion back to Ghana.
In an ambitious move, Nana Manso established Skylight Construction LTD in Kumasi, Ghana. The company’s mission is clear: to become a leading developer in Ghana, starting with Kumasi. Nana’s vision for Skylight Construction is not just about building structures but about fostering community development. His commitment to this vision is evident in his approach—recruiting local professionals, offering sponsorship programs, and creating jobs that will uplift the community.
Skylight Construction’s flagship project, Afia Fofie Terrace, will be a 27-unit luxury apartment complex set in the heart of Santasi, Kumasi. This development will be more than just a construction project; it will be a tribute to Nana’s late mother, Afia Fofie, whose name graces the project. By involving local talent, including a Kumasi-born architect, Nana will ensure that Afia Fofie Terrace will be a project by the community, for the community. This approach will not only support the local economy but also set a precedent for future developments in the region.
Nana Manso’s ultimate goal with Skylight Construction is to secure government contracts that will enable the company to contribute even more significantly to the development of Kumasi. His vision extends beyond business success; it encompasses a desire to create lasting change and opportunities for the people of Kumasi. By combining his international experience with his deep love for his homeland, Nana Manso is not just building structures—he is building a legacy.
