Victor Akwasi Asibra-Minta

THERE IS AN APPOINTED TIME FOR EVERYTHING,

AND THERE IS A TIME FOR EVERY EVENT UNDER HEAVEN

A TIME TO GIVE BIRTH AND A TIME TO DIE

A TIME TO PLANT AND A TIME TO UPROOT

(ECCLESIASTES 3:1&2)

Victor Akwasi Asibra-Minta who was known to family and friends as Akwasi or Kwasi Minta, was born on the March 03, 1946 at Begoro, in Ghana, West Africa, to Mr. William Asibra-Minta from Agona Nyakrom and Mrs. Emma Akosua Akwaa Asibra-Minta (Nee. Amponsah) of Aburi and Nsawam (both deceased).

In 1986 Victor Kwasi Minta won a scholarship to return to the U.S.A. on the Hubert Humphrey Scholar Program for his master’s degree. After completing the program, he returned to Ghana and got employment with Messrs Interbeton Construction Company who were then on the Kumasi to Yeji road rehabilitation project. He later joined his cousin Frank Achampong at Facol Roads in Accra until his retirement age in 2008.
