Speaking of joining The Apprentice 2022 line-up, Akeem told the BBC he has the “ambition, the drive and the experience working with strategy”, and that he is “already on the “pathway to making it”.

Akeeem added: “My growing up has made me who I am. I’m able to converse with everyone, but also able to show that financial, business side to myself.”

On the BBC website, a statement on him reads: “Akeem considers himself a people person who loves being around others.

“However, as a self-confessed numbers guy, his analytical ability often causes him to think carefully about his every move, as he claims he will come in with a ‘calculated point of view’.”

“Ready to provide the facts, Akeem says he’s got the ‘ambition, the drive and the experience working with strategy’ to stand him out from the crowd, and states he’s already on the ‘pathway to making it.'”

The new series will broadcast weekly and will see former winner Tim Campbell join as one of Lord Sugar’s aides.
