The 2023 Forty Under 40 Awards were presented at the De Icon Events Center in Accra on Friday, September 1, and the winners have been revealed by Xodus Communications Limited.
With the goal of recognizing, honoring, and celebrating a varied group of young business executives under the age of forty who have made major contributions and an influence in their respective sectors, the 7th edition of the award program was organized in collaboration with the Ministry of Youth and Sports.
The event began with a networking, business, and exhibition forum including seasonal speakers such Captain Kofi Amoabeng, a well-known businessman, Anthony Mensah Dzamfe, Felix Atsrim, the CEO of FeDems Limited, and many more.
Richard Abbey Junior, the chief executive officer of Xodus Communications Limited, which has offices in Ghana, South Africa, and the UK, also used the occasion to officially publish his new biography, “I Can Never Be Mad Again.”
The interesting biography detailed the CEO’s journey through what he called “hard-core poverty” and how he overcame it.
He describes the intangible scars that have evolved into his lapel pins.
While addressing the crowd during the ceremony, Richard Abbey Junior expressed his appreciation to God for the achievement obtained despite confronting several obstacles. The Awarding Board and Jury have carefully examined all of the winners in the many categories, he continued, therefore it is crucial for the winners to recognize their accomplishments throughout the years.
“I want everyone seated here to take a lot of inspiration from my book. This should be a great motivation for all who are working hard to achieve great success. Once again, I congratulate the winners of the various categories because it is not easy to attain such success looking at their ages”.
The categories covered various sectors, ranging from banking and finance, energy, business, agriculture, theatre and arts, journalism, fashion, law, sports, event management, health, technology, and innovation amongst others.
