Nura Salifu is a serial Ghanaian entrepreneur. She is the owner and CEO of Sixteen47 Ghana Ltd, an Apparel Design, Manufacturing, Export and Retail Company.
In an effort to give a helping hand to society especially to women, when the former owner of Sixteen47 Limited approached her of closing down her business which employed mostly women, Nura decided to step in to save the jobs of these women and has sustained the company to date.
In 2018, Nura bought Sixteen47, rebranded it, and increased the employees from 18 to 225.
She is excited about the opportunity to expand the current Sixteen47 to another location around Spintex which will have the capacity to employ approximately 800 direct workers.
Sixteen47 currently undertakes contract manufacturing for both local and foreign apparel brands and currently employs close to 300 Ghanaians. She also owns a business called Beauty Technicians.
Nura Salifu is a consummate Sales & Marketing Professional with extensive knowledge in B2B development and manufacturing.
She began her primary and secondary education in Ghana and holds both a bachelor’s Degree in Marketing and business development from Fort Valley State University, USA. She is married with three children.
Nura is passionate about youth empowerment and charity courses and volunteered for several nonprofit institutions in Africa and the USA.
