The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Rigworld International, an upstream oil and gas services provider in Ghana and West Africa, Dr. Kofi Amoah Abban, has been awarded for his contribution to the oil and gas sector in Ghana and beyond.
He was awarded alongside 39 young African entrepreneurs from 16 countries operating in various sectors such as banking and finance, energy, agriculture, theatre and arts, journalism, health, fashion, law, sports management, technology and innovation.
The awards ceremony that happened at the weekend at the Kempinski Gold Coast Hotel in Accra, the capital of Ghana, was organised by Xodus Communications Limited.
The awards aimed at celebrating the achievements of young entrepreneurs.
The Chief Executive Officer of Xodus Communications Limited, Richard Abbey Jnr, organiser of the event, said the objective of the Awards was to recognise and celebrate emerging leaders under the age of 40 who demonstrated exceptional leadership while proving to the upcoming youth of Africa that “excellence could be achieved at a very tender age.”
He expressed excitement as the nominees emerged from 16 countries on the continent, saying that moving forward, “we would have over 30 countries participating in the awards scheme.”
Mr Abbey added that the award was a means to market Africa to the world and show the world what the African continent was capable of.
