The vision for Numero Uno Research Consult (NURC) was born from the passion of our founder, Mr. Godson Nana Adu Agyei, a seasoned writer and research enthusiast who initially focused on Christian literature and poetry. NURC Ghana officially began its journey in 2019 by managing outsourcing writing groups that wrote on platforms like OPERA NEWS and SCOOPER (via Opera News Hub and Trans Ghana Outsourcing Company). Our commitment to quality quickly paid off, and our writers consistently earning weekly and monthly rewards for producing top-tier articles in the writing hubs.

The company’s direction pivoted hugely during the 2020 COVID-19 Pandemic and subsequent lockdown. As remote work became the norm, NURC formalized its operations, where the company evolved to become a dedicated indoor research and writing consultancy. Following the lockdown, we began to focus our attention on expanding from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) campus to the University of Education, Winneba, thanks to the kind support of the late Mr. John Dadzie (Kobbysaint). This academic foothold was indeed, very successful, which led to our further expansion into the University of Cape Coast (2022) and the University of Ghana, Legon, where NURC Ghana became well-established as a recognized research consultancy across Ghana.

The professional standing of NURC GH became even more solidified when the company obtained full registration from the Registrar General Department in December 2023 (see footer for registration number), following the start of the registration process in June of that year. To date, we have successfully become partners with many businesses, representatives of political parties, and have been a guide and tutor of countless students through the successful completion of their academic studies. Today, Numero Uno Research Consult stands as a leading national consultancy, and we strive daily to fulfill our vision of becoming the premier research consultancy across Africa and the globe. 

And so help us, God. Amen!

Whenever excellence in research is required, what name comes to mind? That should be NURC Ghana. Indeed, our vision is simple, and yet, very ambitious: to be the Numero Uno (Number One) research institute, a true leader, that leads and is recognized globally for excellence, innovation, and an impact that is forever transformative. Our goal defines our direction, which ensures that every project we undertake is one that is aimed at the highest standard of quality and utility. We can boldly say we are not just concerned with striving for domestic success; we are also highly committed to the building of an international reputation based on the rigor and reliability of our findings. We aim to be the first name that comes to mind when excellence in research is required, whether here in Ghana or on the global stage.

Our vision comes with responsibility, and such responsibility requires that we have clear strategic goals which are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. The achievement of the “Numero Uno” status demands a focus that is relentless on two key pillars: Excellence and Innovation. Excellence is based on the idea that our methodologies are sound, our data is clean, and our analyses are beyond reproach. Innovation is based on the idea that we refuse to rely on approaches that are outdated; we constantly adopt research technologies that are new and problem-solving techniques that are creative. The dual commitment ensures that the solutions we provide are not only accurate today but are also future-proofed against the challenges of tomorrow.

In the end, our vision rests on an Impact that is transformative. We measure our success not just by the quality of our reports, but by the changes that they bring, which we expect to be tangible and lasting. Whether we are helping a policymaker to improve governance, we are guiding a student to complete a first-time or subsequent research, or we are showing a business a new market pathway, our work must fundamentally improve the condition of the client. The focus on transformation, and by this, we mean one that is practical and relates to the real world, is what gives us the ability to ensure our position as a leading voice in research and development worldwide.

Our mission is to drive motion in knowledge and development through the provision of research solutions that are cutting-edge and based on evidence, which are what give scholars, organizations, and policymakers the ability to make an impact that is informed and lasting. Our purpose is the “force that is impressed” (referencing your motivation), which is what gives the ability to initiate progress for our clients. We translate questions that are complex into data that is clear and can be verified, which pushes our partners out of inertia and into action.

The heart of our mission lies in delivering cutting-edge, evidence-based solutions. We commit to using the latest tools and established scientific principles in market, academic, and political research. This dedication to evidence ensures that every recommendation we provide is backed by facts, not speculation. For scholars, this means flawless data analysis; for policymakers, it means reliable public sentiment metrics; and for organizations, it means clear, strategic direction based on verified market intelligence.

We conclude that our vision, which gives direction to our mission, is one that seeks to create an impact that is lasting through empowerment. We do not just deliver a report; we equip our clients with the knowledge and tools they need to succeed long after our engagement ends. The empowerment of scholars, organizations, and policymakers is what gives us the ability to contribute directly to sustainable growth and decision-making that is informed in the Ghanaian and African context as a whole. Our work is a direct investment in the future, which is a collective of knowledge and development.
