Suleiman Mustapha, founder of M2 Group and its subsidiaries M2homes, M2stores, and Binkha Global Records, has been recognised for combining business growth with social impact, a philosophy he has consistently upheld since beginning his entrepreneurial journey in 2016.

At the heart of Mustapha’s approach is a firm belief in teamwork as a catalyst for success. His businesses, spanning property, retail, and entertainment, have not only created economic value but have also prioritised community development. Through M2 Group’s charitable arm, over 2,000 bags of rice have been distributed to vulnerable communities — a gesture that, while modest in scale, reflects a broader commitment to tackling food insecurity.

This philanthropic initiative, aimed at alleviating hardship and reinforcing communal bonds, exemplifies Mustapha’s view that private enterprise must play a role in addressing societal challenges.

Beyond donations, the group has either hosted or taken part in five public-facing events aimed at fostering dialogue and collaboration across sectors. These events have served as platforms for knowledge exchange, encouraging partnerships that seek solutions to persistent social and economic issues. They also reflect the founder’s long-standing conviction that sustainable progress stems from collective action.

In recognition of his efforts, Mustapha was recently honoured with a Special Award by the Chartered Institute of Public Resources Management and Politics (CIPRMP) in Ghana. The award underlines the growing appreciation of his public service ethos and his impact beyond business operations.

Looking ahead, M2stores is set to expand into proprietary product lines — a move designed not only to strengthen the brand’s commercial reach but also to generate employment and contribute to local manufacturing capacity. The planned expansion marks a new phase in Mustapha’s business strategy, one that seeks to pair market competitiveness with measurable social outcomes.

Mustapha’s trajectory — from founding M2 Group to being recognised for public service — stands as an example of how private sector actors can use business platforms to serve the greater good. As his enterprises continue to grow, so too does his commitment to social investment, suggesting a model that blends profitability with purpose.
