With unwavering passion for helping young people to develop their potentials for academic and professional excellence through seminars and worskshops, Seiba Issifu along with two other friends Tuumyeridam Donald and Boachie Asare Armstrong in 2014 founded Students Empowerment Foundation-Ghana (SEF-GHANA), a non-governmental Organization which offers personal development services including skills development, career coaching and motivational seminars for young people. Tens of thousands of students at the Senior High Schools and Tertiary Schools in Ghana have had their academic lives transformed through his personal development and career coaching program called “Students Empowerment Seminar.”

Being inspired by his own difficulties with learning during his early schooling days, partly because of lack of books on how to study effectively, large volume of information in textbooks presented in complex technical language and being a teacher inspired by difficulties facing many students in their dream for academic excellence, Seiba Issifu in 2016 founded Asco Publications Limited, a self-publishing organization. With Asco Publications Limited, Seiba Issifu aspires to write and publish quality and well researched books that teach students the practical study and test taking skills which vital for sharpening the brain to deliver amazing results in school but which are not taught in schools.

Seiba Issifu has written seven bestselling innovative books not only in study skills, study habits and test taking skills but also in areas like economics and geography at the senior high school level.  Seiba Issifu believes that, every student regardless of current results in school has incredible potentials and transforming these inner potentials for personal excellence requires great sense of self-discipline, hard work, positive attitude and the right kinds of books. His philosophy in life is “Hard work and self-discipline beat intelligence when intelligence does not discipline itself to work hard.”
