A Ghanaian in the UK has revealed that he worked for long hours daily when he arrived abroad to pay off his debt of £15,000 (N30,750,035.58).

Paul Akoto Agyemang said he had other plans involving his family, so he needed to pay off the debt quickly so his plans could materialize.

In an interview with DJ Nyaami on SVTV Africa, Paul Akoto Agyemang said he did several jobs and minimized his spending by using almost all his salary to pay off the debt.

Man worked over 10 hours to pay travel debt

According to Paul Akoto Agyemang, when he left Ghana, he promised his wife that he would work hard to bring her to the UK so that she could join him within two years.

However, before he could bring his wife to settle as a family, he needed to pay the debt and put other things in place.

“I was determined to pay off the debt because I had promised to bring my wife from Ghana within two years. I worked tirelessly to settle that debt, and I had bills to pay as well.”

He worked for 14 hours every day to pay his debt, which affected how often he ate in a day.

“I worked at a car wash for four months and paid £1000 (N2,050,002) to clear the debt. I only ate once a day so I could settle the debt quickly and save. I became so lean, but I remained focused.
