FWSC boss steals show at JoySports Invitational with CEOs Penalty thriller

Smith Graham, who made history as the first-ever CEO of the Commission from 2009 to 2017 and officially returned to office on Tuesday, April 22, 2025, proved he is not just a master of negotiation at the labour table, but also a master on the penalty spot.

Smith Graham seized the moment to interact with patrons, corporate teams, and workers from various institutions, using the informal atmosphere to educate them on pertinent labour issues, wage administration, and the Commission's role in ensuring industrial harmony as many approached him to ask questions about single spine, negotiations, and productivity — and he obliged with smiles and brief explanations, blending sports with social dialogue.

The 2026 edition brought together dozens of corporate organisations, security services, and public sector institutions, and the CEO penalty session was designed to promote executive fitness and camaraderie.
