Ghana Link’s Nick Danso Adjei honoured at CEO Awards

The Executive Chairman of Ghana Link Network Services Limited, Dr Nick Danso Adjei, emerged winner for two separate awards at the third edition of the Ghana CEO Awards held in Accra.

Dr Adjei secured the Trade Facilitation CEO of the Year 2024 award and clinched the Entrepreneur of the Year 2024 title for the third consecutive year.

These accolades come on the heels of the successful implementation of the Integrated Customs Management Systems (ICUMS), a project spearheaded by Ghana Link under Dr. Adjei's leadership. 

ICUMS has emerged as a crucial revenue-generating tool for the Ghanaian government, significantly enhancing the country's trade facilitation processes.

Financial analysts point to the ICUMS as a game-changer in Ghana's fiscal strategy. The system's efficiency in streamlining customs procedures and improving revenue collection has been noted as a key factor in bolstering the country's economic outlook.

Growing importance 

A release issued in Accra by the Ghana Link Network Services Limited said the recognition of Dr Adjei at the Ghana CEO Awards underscores the growing importance of trade facilitation and entrepreneurship in driving economic growth. 

It also highlights the increasing role of technology in enhancing government revenue streams.

Dr Adjei's entrepreneurial prowess extends beyond Ghana Link, encompassing ventures such as Royal Nick Hotel, Royal Light, Nick TC Scan (operating in Ghana and Gambia), Misyl Energy BDC, and Nick Petroleum. These enterprises highlight his commitment to economic growth and development both in Ghana and internationally.

Born in Nkoranza/Bredi, Dr Adjei's journey to success began at an early age. After furthering his education and moving to Spain, he returned to Ghana in 1992 to establish the Royal Nick Hotel in Tema, marking the beginning of his impactful business career in his home country.

His contributions extend beyond business. He has undertaken several corporate social responsibility projects, including the establishment of an education endowment fund in the Bono East Region.

Market observers suggest that the success of ICUMS and Dr Adjei's other ventures could attract further investment into Ghana's tech and trade sectors. The awards are seen as a vote of confidence in Ghana's business environment and its potential for innovation-led growth.

National progress 

The Ghana CEO Awards celebrates leaders who positively impact various economic sectors, advancing national progress, fostering social transformation, and promoting environmental sustainability. Dr. Adjei's repeated recognition at this event solidifies his status as a key figure in Ghana's business landscape.
