“Not only have you served as a role model, but you have also created the opportunity for millions of Ghanaians to become the best they can be.”
The awards ceremony was attended by the award recipients and their guests, top public officials, preeminent captains of industry and commerce, some national thought leaders, social influencers, and members of the diplomatic corps, among others.
The event was on the theme ‘Collective Collaboration in Transforming Ghana’s Economy for a Better Future.’
