The Energy Media Group, organizers of the prestigious Ghana Energy Awards, has postponed the media launch and opening of nominations for the 9th Ghana Energy Awards, originally scheduled for Tuesday, August 12, 2025.
This decision follows the helicopter crash on Wednesday, August 6, 2025, which claimed the lives of eight gallant Ghanaians, including the Defence and Environment Ministers and army officers.
The entire nation is mourning the untimely demise of these prominent personalities.
President John Dramani Mahama announced a three-day national mourning period starting Thursday.
In a statement issued by Ing. Henry Teinor, Event Director, and Mr. Kwame Jantuah Esq., Chairman of the Awarding Panel, they expressed solidarity with the bereaved families and the nation.
“In the spirit of national unity and out of deep respect for the precious lives lost, we believe it is essential to stand together as a country to honour their memory.”
The Ghana Energy Awards fully supports the Government’s declaration of a three-day National Mourning period and the preparations for the inter-denominational state funeral for the eight heroes at the Black Star Square on Friday, August 15, 2025.
Therefore, the 9th Ghana Energy Awards Media Launch and Opening of Nominations has been postponed until further notice.
The group called on all partners and stakeholders to join in paying tribute to these remarkable individuals whose service and sacrifice have left an indelible mark on the nation.
“May their souls rest in perfect peace, and may their legacy continue to inspire us all.”
