Ghanaian self-styled entrepreneur and event planner, Dr UN
Ghanaian self-styled entrepreneur and event planner, Kwame Fordjour, popularly known as Dr UN, has once again stirred reactions on social media after attempting to present an award to the Ashanti Regional Minister, Dr. Frank Amoakohene.
In a video circulating online on April 20, 2025, Dr UN was seen at the ongoing AshantiFest holding a plaque with images of the minister.
He approached Dr. Amoakohene in an apparent attempt to present the award, but the minister declined to receive it directly, instructing Dr UN to hand it over to a member of his entourage instead.
This is not the first time Dr UN has been in the spotlight for presenting awards to public figures.
In 2020, he organized the controversial “7th Global Leadership Service to Humanity Awards,” held on August 28, where plaques labelled “UN Kofi Annan Excellence Awards” were handed out to personalities in entertainment, politics, and business.
The event gained massive attention due to the prominence of the awardees, which included rapper Sarkodie, media personality Berla Mundi, musician D-Black, and over 20 other notable Ghanaians.
However, shortly after the ceremony, it was revealed that Dr UN had no affiliation with the United Nations or the late Kofi Annan, sparking public ridicule and debate over the authenticity of the awards.
