The President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has encouraged the youth to draw inspiration from the remarkable accomplishments of the national award recipients.
While addressing attendees at the National Honours and Awards ceremony on December 30, the President urged the youth to be motivated by the narratives associated with the awardees' contributions, emphasizing the importance of their involvement in the advancement of Ghana. "To the young people, let these stories ignite you, a desire to contribute to Ghana in your unique way." The National Honours and Awards ceremony was established in 1960 to recognise individuals and institutions who have made distinguished contributions to Ghana's development.
The initiative, first introduced under the leadership of Dr Kwame Nkrumah, continues to celebrate creativity, excellence, and hard work in various fields of endeavour.
This year's event also highlights the recently introduced Presidential Honours and Awards for Distinguished Service, created by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo in 2023.
