The United Kingdom has reaffirmed its commitment to supporting Ghana’s economic growth through sustained and targeted investment in strategic areas of the economy.

Delivering the keynote address at the Study UK Alumni Awards Ghana 2026, the Deputy UK High Commissioner to Ghana, Keith McMahon, said the UK will continue to partner with Ghana to unlock economic opportunities that advance development and prosperity.

“We strongly believe in the potential of the Ghanaian economy. That is why the UK will continue to invest in targeted areas that promote innovation, job creation, and shared economic growth,” Mr McMahon said. He stressed that strengthening trade, investment, and educational collaboration between the two countries remains a key priority.

The event, organised by the British Council, recognises Ghanaian professionals who studied in the United Kingdom and are making meaningful contributions to national development.

Highlighting the importance of the longstanding Ghana–UK partnership, Country Director of the British Council, Nii Doodoo Dodoo, said the programme is crucial in fostering stronger ties between both nations.

“Our partnership with Ghana has never been more relevant. Study UK alumni are playing transformational roles across sectors, driving innovation, leadership, and positive social impact throughout the country,” Mr Dodoo Dodoo said.

Award winners at the ceremony shared their excitement and gratitude. Several recipients said the recognition has motivated them to continue using their expertise and networks to support national progress.

One awardee noted, “Receiving this honour reminds me of the importance of giving back to our communities. It is both humbling and inspiring.”

The Study UK Alumni Awards celebrate excellence in leadership, business, science, culture, and social impact. 

Recipients are selected for their outstanding contributions in their respective fields and their ongoing efforts to strengthen UK–Ghana links.
