His Remarks.
In a brief speech after receiving a citation presented to him by H.E. Claudia Turbay Quintero, Colombian Ambassador to Ghana, Mr. Ayoade recounted the journey started some 20 years ago, from a passion to an empire of about 150 staff in 5 West Africa countries.
He was amazed as to how the Council of the Summit discovered him for this award and indicated that the award will become a big motivation to keep his team growing stronger. He was quick to acknowledge the role and contributions of his wife Mrs. Theresa Ayoade and the entire board, directors and staff of the Multiple Concepts Group and Charter House in the success of the journey.
He was also optimistic about the growth and fortunes of Africa and called on the private sector to take up the mantle to light up the continent, “we need to be innovative, we need to break new frontiers, we need to be strong, we need to be compassionate, we need to be charitable and if we put all these together and brighten our little corners, together we will have a lighted Africa and probably in our time the narrative about Africa will change”
Other Awards.
Other personalities awarded at the summit included Dr. Felix Anyah, CEO of Korle Bu Teaching Hospital, for the Health Award, Dr. Elsie Kaufmann, Senior Biomedical Engineering Lecturer of the University of Ghana for the Education Award and David Asare Asiamah, CEO of Agro Mindset for the Rising Star and Agriculture Award.
