Former president of the Ghana National Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Nana Dr. Appiagyei Dankawoso I, has been inducted as the President-General of the West Africa Nobles Forum (WANF).
The induction ensued at the Forum’s 32nd West Africa Nobles Congress/Awards in Accra by retired Court of Appeal Judge and WANF member, Justice Isaac Duose.
"The product of integrity is honesty, accountability, humility, persistency and excellence. Any person who ascends to a leadership position through dishonesty has no future in that position. Hard work can take us to the leadership position but it is our integrity that will make us stay there. Success will come and go but integrity is forever," he said, and advised businessmen and politicians to keep high standards of integrity,” Nana Dr. Appiagyei Dankawoso 1 stated in his acceptance speech.
WANF is a non-governmental group of more than 3,000 eminent personalities from various fields of work across the sub-region, set up in 2003, to promote integrity and accountability as well as drive socio-economic integration.
The ceremony also saw the new President-General induct into WANF, 11 new members, including the Director General of Social Security and National Insurance Trust, John Ofori-Tenkorang; the Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre, Yofi Grant, and the Acting Controller and Accountant-General, Kwasi Kwaning-Bosompem.
Meanwhile, the Executive director of WANF, Dr Dee Otibu -Asare, said the Forum, since its inception, had been championing integrity through public engagements including conferences and other events and would continue to do so to raise a generation of integrity.
