The Executive Director of the African Rights Initiative International (ARII) has been honoured at The Forty Under 40 Awards held last month.

Prince Williams Oduro received the Outstanding Humanitarian Award at the ceremony held at the Kempinski Hotel in Accra.

The Forty under 40 Award identifies, honours and celebrates a cross-section of the Ghana’s most influential and accomplished young business leaders who are under the age of forty.

Recipients of the Awards cut across a wide range of industries, who are committed to business growth, professional excellence and community service.

They should also have risen through the ranks of their companies or industries at a relatively young age as result of their achievements.

The Awards Board seeks outstanding entrepreneurs, executives, managers and professionals in the public and private and non-profit sectors.

With his Doctors in the Gap initiative, which has brought healthcare and delivery to the doorsteps of residents in deprived communities, the Awards Board deemed Mr Oduro as a most suitable person to receive the Humanitarian Award.

The ARII boss expressed his appreciation to The Forty Under 40 Awards Board for the honour and promised to do more to help the youth and residents in deprived communities in Ghana.

"ARII and Doctors in the Gap are on the rise and we will deliver on the objectives we have set for ourselves," he said.
