The 2021 Forty under 40 Award Scheme announced its winners on Friday, October 8, at the Kempinski Gold Coast Hotel in Accra.
The all-important awards ceremony organized by Xodus Communications in partnership with the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture and the Ministry of Youth and Sports, seeks to identify and honour a cross-section of the nation’s most influential and accomplished young business fellows under the age of forty (40), who are making an impact in the industry or sectors they operate.
The scheme also seeks to place emphasis on these individuals’ impeccable results through commitment to business growth, professional excellence, and community service.
Speaking to the media after the event, Executive Director of Xodus Communications, Richard Abbey Junior said, this year, nominees in the various categories have really worked hard, and that it took tireless efforts to finally come out with the winners.
