He said “ I cannot thank you all enough for blessing me and my team with this award. It actually feels great to be here but before I take my seat, I want to use this opportunity to tell every young Ghanaian that; yes it is not easy climbing up the ladder but never give up on those dreams. Keep going and pushing because one day your toil will eventually pay off”.
