The Deputy Minister of Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts Ms Dzifa Abla Gomashie, has lauded the Ghana Club 100 awards describing it as very good event since it promotes and exhibits Ghanaian businesses on the international market.

She said most Ghanaian companies are in partnership with some foreign companies and as such it is important for such local companies to be awarded for their excellent performance for their foreign partners to know that they are doing extraordinarily well in Ghana.

The Ghana Club 100 award is an annual event organized by the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC) to promote and commend Ghanaian businesses for their outstanding performance.

Speaking to Kasapa News Leticia Ohene-Asiedu, at the 15 th edition of the Ghana Club 100 awards held at the plush Kempinski Hotel in Accra last Friday, on the theme “Manufacturing-Steering Ghana’s Development”, the Deputy Minister said when Ghanaian companies are commended for their good works it will encourage them to go the extra mile to improve upon their services.

She also encouraged small scale industries and young entrepreneurs not to be intimidated or frightened by the awards given to big companies at the Ghana Club 100 event.

Ms Dzifa Abla Gomashie said such awards should rather encourage and motivate them to grow their businesses in order for them to be recognized by the organizers someday.
