The 8th Ghana CEO Summit and Excellence Awards, recently held at the Kempinski Gold Coast Hotel on May 27, 2024, honoured the Director-General of the State Interests and Governance Authority (SIGA), Mr. John Boadu, with the prestigious Outstanding Public Leadership Award.
The Minister of Public Enterprises, Hon. Joseph Cudjoe also walked away with the coveted Minister of the Year award.
The recognition of the Honourable Minister and John Boadu’s leadership underscores the importance of effective governance and leadership in driving economic growth and development. Under the visionary leadership of the two personalities, the Public Enterprises Secretariat and SIGA have collaboratively championed good corporate governance in public enterprises, shifting the narrative from viewing these entities as drains on national resources to recognising them as valuable national assets.
The event, themed “Reigniting Business and Economic Growth: Charting a Path Forward; Economic Diversification and Artificial Intelligence Transformation,” brought together over 500 CEOs, business leaders, and industry captains from not just Ghana, but the ECOWAS sub-region, and global business circles at large.
Notable attendees included former President John Mahama, who was present at the event, and Vice President Dr. Mahamoud Bawumia, who joined virtually. Both delivered compelling presidential addresses, which were highlights of the summit.
The CEO Summit and Excellence Awards aim to facilitate high-impact learning, insightful discussions, expert insights, and strategic networking opportunities. Mr. Boadu also participated in a panel discussion on the event theme, sharing his expertise and insights.
