A delegation from the Millennium Excellence Foundation, led by its chairperson, Mrs Grace Amey Obeng, paid a courtesy call on the Hon. Minister for Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts on Wednesday, 26th March 2025.
The purpose of the visit was to formally inform the Minister of the Millennium Excellence Awards 2025 programme scheduled to take place in Ghana from 8th-10th May 2025. The Awards programme is targeted at distinguished humanitarians whose leadership and innovations are geared towards empowering the youth while making a positive impact on the African continent.
Among the activities highlighted for the period was a Business Summit to be held at the Lancaster Hotel on the 8th of May 2025, a trip to the Manhyia Place on the 9th of May 2025, and Awards/Dinner with the recipients and guests on the 10th of May 2025.
Mrs Obeng emphasized the need to arrange to have a meeting with the President of the Republic of Ghana, H.E. John Dramani Mahama. She also mentioned that the occasion would be used to promote Ghana using the Black Star Experience, being championed by the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts to promote Ghana’s rich cultural heritage.
She also mentioned other projects of the Foundation, such as the Heroes Museum and the partnership that has been entered into with the University of Ghana.
In her response, Hon. Abla Dzifa Gomashie applauded the Foundation for the good work being done and said the platform created using the Manhyia Palace is remarkable because it brings the power to do many things. It also shows the importance and relevance of passing on tradition from one generation to another.
Hon. Abla Dzifa Gomashie expressed her appreciation for the recognition given to the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts and suggested that UNESCO could be brought on board to boost publicity of the programme.
