They also admitted that recognition is a prize to the integrity of self-made achievers who have made an impact on society.

Explaining what necessitated the forthcoming ceremony, His Royal Eminence, Ambassador Arthur Paes, Commissioner General, WODIF said: "It is necessary to note that many have contributed to the development of Ghana without being known to be appreciated for the immense contribution to make the country what it is now, hence the organization of this event".
